There are many options for donating your home, second home, commercial building, vacant land, farm, or other real estate to Friends of Yad Sarah. There may be a gift plan available that will help you achieve your charitable and financial goals.

A Gift Of Real Estate Could Be Right For You If You Have Any Of These Goals:

  • You own real estate for which you no longer want to be responsible.
  • You are willing to donate your home if you can continue to live in it.
  • You own real estate that you are willing to sell to us for a bargain price.
  • You own real estate that you are willing to donate if you get income in return.
  • You want to save income taxes.
  • You want to make a generous gift to Yad Sarah.

How It Works

Here are some common techniques for making a gift of realestate to Yad Sarah.

  • Give your real estate now.
  • Give your home now, but continue to live in it as long as you wish.
  • Give your real estate now and receive payments for life.
  • Give your real estate through your estate.
  • Give a portion of your real estate and keep the rest.
  • Sell your real estate to us for less than its appraised value.
