Gifts of Personal Property
(Gift illustration)

How it works

	You transfer a painting, antiques, collectibles or other personal property to Save the Children.
	Save the Children may elect to hold the property and display or use it in the furtherance of its mission. Save the Children may elect to sell the property at some point in the future and use the proceeds for its programs.

The Gift Acceptance Committee at Save the Children

All contributions of non-cash assets to Save the Children are subject to review by our Gift Acceptance Committee. Rarely would Save the Children accept gifts of assets that would incur risk or cost to the organization. We always strongly recommend that you consult your tax and legal advisors before making financial decisions relating to charitable donations.

Benefits

• You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of your gift and pay no capital gains tax, provided your gift satisfies the "related use" requirements of the IRS.
• In certain cases, you can use personal property to fund a life-income gift, such as a FLIP Unitrust, that benefits Save the Children and provides you with income now.
• You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now to Save the Children without adversely affecting your cash flow.
