Creative Ways to Give

Real Estate (Residential or Commercial)

If you are considering a major gift to JBU, you may give land or a house that is not being used. There are sometimes tax advantages for giving real property to the University, and we are happy to facilitate the transfer of the property, freeing you from the hassles of selling it.

Property ownership can be financially rewarding, but it can also be burdensome and time consuming. If you own appreciated real estate and are tired of the responsibilities of taxes, maintenance, and management, why not give the property to John Brown University? You can avoid the usual headaches associated with a sale and ultimately make a more significant gift than the sale proceeds would have allowed.

Note: An appraisal is required on all gifts of real estate valued at $5,000 or more.
