If you have owned the property for longer than a year, you can deduct it as a charitable contribution at the fair market value of the real estate without paying capitol gains tax. Life insurance is a unique way to give to charity. To qualify, the Mission needs to become the owner and beneficiary. No incidents of ownership should be retained. If the policy is paid up, your charitable contribution is generally the replacement value or cost basis of the policy, whichever is less.
Ongoing premiums paid on a gifted life insurance policy also qualify for charitable deductions.
Gifts of tangible personal property related to the charity's exempt purposes are fully tax deductible at fair market value. Gifts of tangible personal property given to charity which are not related to its tax-exempt purposes are limited to cost basis for determining your tax deduction. They also can be a help and a resource for you.
