Did you know that you can support CSPI through a gift of real estate – including primary residences, vacation homes, commercial property, or land as an outright gift or retain interest in the property?

Donating a property that you have owned for a minimum of one year entitles you to a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of that property and allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.

If you would like to have the tax advantages of a gift but continue to live in your home, a retained life estate is another useful gift vehicle. By donating a remainder interest in your property, you or a designated individual, can live in your house until death. Upon the death, the ownership of the property would transfer to CSPI.

To talk to a CSPI planned giving specialist, please email giftplan@cspinet.org, or phone us at: (202) 332-9110.

CSPI does not provide legal or financial advice, and urges you to consult your own advisors for information specific to your situation and interests.
