A qualified conservation contribution is a type of charitable donation that involves the transfer of a real property interest for conservation purposes. This type of donation is different from other types of charitable donations, such as donations of cash, stocks, or other property, because it requires the property to be used for conservation purposes, which are defined as the preservation of land areas, waters, or easements that will provide for the protection of scenic, historic, or scientific value, or the preservation of open space (including farmland and forests) where such preservation is necessary to prevent densely populated urban development. The donor may be eligible for a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the donated property if certain requirements are met.
