How it works

#1

You deed your property (e.g. home, vacation home, commercial building, or investment property) to The Nature Conservancy.

#2

The Nature Conservancy may use the property for its own purposes, or, more likely, will sell it and use the proceeds for our programs.

Benefits

  • You receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the real estate, no matter what you originally paid for it.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
  • You can direct the proceeds from your gift to a specific Nature Conservancy program.

* If you are interested in donating "preserve quality" land you wish to see preserved in its natural state, please contact your local Nature Conservancy office for more information.
