Donating Personal Property or Real Estate 

 
You may wish to donate tangible personal property such as artwork, jewelry, or valuable collections to CASBS. We also welcome gifts of real property such as vacation homes, vacant lots, or farms as long as this real estate is debt-free and readily marketable. Such assets are appropriate for outright gifts as well as for funding charitable trusts.
 
Please contact our development office to discuss gifts of tangible property and real estate before making transfer arrangements. These gifts must be reviewed before acceptance, and there are tax implications to discuss that may be of value to the donor. Gifts of property should be accompanied by a professional letter of appraisal and by a letter from the donor stating that CASBS has the right to sell the gift at any time in the future. For more information, or for assistance in arranging your gift, please contact us.
