Real Estate for Charities offers a full range of advisory
functions regarding every aspect of the processes involved when donating real estate. A
combined knowledge of real estate, tax law, 501(c)3 charities and estate planning, enables
Real Estate for Charities to provide premiere consultation to corporations and charities,
alike.
In addition to typical consulting services, Real Estate for Charities can advise on the
disposition of real estate that is environmentally impacted (i.e. brownfields: property
with actual or perceived contamination). By providing practical assistance and technical
support for site assessment, remediation planning and regulatory facilitation, Real Estate
for Charities can advise clients about how to make a problem into an opportunity.
Furthermore, Real Estate for Charities can advise non-profits about how to safely
accept debt-encumbered properties. By utilizing real estate investment trusts (REITs), the
risks and issues that typically arise when debt-encumbered property is transferred
directly to the non-profit, can be eliminated.
