A gift of real estate to the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation could be the most significant charitable gift you may ever make.
Considerable wealth is held in real estate, giving this asset significant charitable potential; however, the complexities, costs, and liability issues surrounding gifts of real estate have typically restricted its use.
The Charitable Real Estate Fund (CREF), which gains public charity status by virtue of its affiliation with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation (Foundation), is managed by a separate board of directors comprised of local leaders in the real estate profession, who may also serve on the Foundation’s Board of Directors. The CREF Board oversees the process that converts commercial and residential property into charitable dollars. Each potential gift of real estate is unique and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the policies and standards set forth herein.
As a sophisticated investor, perhaps you own one of any number of types of real estate that might be used to fund your charitable goals… perhaps into future generations.
