Make an Impact with a Gift of Real Property

As an institution dedicated to the management and stewardship of natural resources, ESF has a special interest in donations of forest land. All such gifts to ESF are received by the ESF College Foundation, Inc., and are fully tax-deductible.

A gift of land or other real property can generate many benefits.  These include:

  • avoidance of potential capital gains tax that might occur from a sale;
  • income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property;
  • elimination of property tax burdens and maintenance costs, and much more.

Donated properties are either held for long-term management and research/instructional use or sold to generate income. Either way, your real property donation will support the College’s research and academic activities or provide vital funds for scholarships.
