How it works
 |
You sell your residence or other property to Defenders of Wildlife for a price below the appraised market value, resulting in a transaction that is part charitable gift and part sale. |
 |
Defenders of Wildlife may use the property, but usually elects to sell it and use the proceeds of the sale for the gift purposes you specified. |

- You pay no capital gains tax on the donated portion of the property.
- You use cash from the sale portion to retire a mortgage or purchase other property.
- You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Defenders of Wildlife during your lifetime.
