Gifts of Real Estate: FAQs

How do I know if the property I’d like to donate is going to be helpful to Operation Mobilization?Layer Closed

Here are some questions we will need to answer to determine if your property will be helpful to us:

  • Is the property void of any liens?
  • Are there any environmental concerns with the property?
  • Can our organization actually use the property for our work?
  • Is the property marketable and salable within a reasonable period of time?
  • What are the costs associated with accepting and holding the property?
  • Can we realize a positive net return on this property?

What are the tax benefits of donating real estate?Layer Closed

You will receive an income tax deduction equal to the appraised fair market value of the property. An independent qualified appraisal is required for this purpose and it is up to the donor to acquire such an appraisal. Donating your property may also reduce your estate costs and taxes as well.

Make donations of Stock Shares

    Operation Mobilization USA (OM) is happy to receive gifts of stock shares of publicly traded companies. In order to do this, please instruct your broker to transfer the shares to OM’s broker as follows:
    Wells Fargo Advisors DTC # 0141
    Account # 4181-5468
    Phone: 503-603-2141
    Broker: W. Todd Frye
    OM's Tax ID: 22-2513811
    OM will send you a letter acknowledging your gift, including the name of the stock, number of shares and the date OM received the stock into its account. It is OM’s general policy to sell the stock shortly after the gift is made. OM will not report value, which is standard practice for Gifts-in-Kind. Please consult your tax advisor for deductibility and record keeping.
  • Per OM USA Board policy, OM USA accepts gifts subject to donor designations. However, in accordance with IRS requirements, all gifts are given to and must be treated as belonging fully to Operation Mobilization and are subject to its control. The IRS requires that OM have the power to modify any restriction or designation if, in its sole judgment, such restriction becomes, in effect, unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment or inconsistent with the charitable purpose of Operation Mobilization.
