Amphibian
Conservation Alliance welcomes gifts of real
property including vacation homes, farms and
commercial buildings. We call these gifts
"Trade Lands" because after you donate
your property, we sell it and use the proceeds to
help fund our ongoing conservation efforts. These
gifts can provide you with significant tax and
financial advantages.

How
It Works
Bill no longer had a need for his second home that
had appreciated in value over the years. He
donated it as a "Trade Land" to ACA.
When we sold the home, it provided vitally needed
funds to protect amphibian wildlife around the
world. Bill received an immediate income tax
charitable deduction (equal to the market
value of the property) and greatly
appreciated the tax savings.

Immediate
Tax Savings - Avoid the capital gains
taxes you would have to pay if you sold the
property. Plus, take an income tax charitable
deduction for the property's full fair market
value. |
|
Future
Tax Savings
- The property will be removed from your estate. |
|
Eliminate
Management Hassles - By donating the
property, you no longer will need to maintain
it, market it or handle the sale. |
|
Leave
a Legacy – Your gift will ensure
our natural world will be protected for future
generations. |
