Properties that can be given to Samaritan’s Purse include personal residences, vacation homes, commercial property or land. Many people like to give gifts of real estate because the inherent value of the property far exceeds that of any other single asset. It is very popular because even individuals with modest estates typically own real estate.
If you are interested in donating your home or farmland but would like to remain living there, a Retained Life Estate may be an option for you. This giving tool provides a way for you to donate a home or farmland to charity when you are still living without having to vacate the property or give up any benefits while continuing to maintain the asset during your lifetime.
If you would like to discuss a real estate gift, please contact Carrie Griffin at cgriffin@samaritan.org or 828-278-1226.
