Philanthropy through Real Estate

Did you know that Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are increasingly central to strategic real estate philanthropy? The DAF Research Collaborative's 'Annual DAF Report', updated Spring 2026 (https://www.dafrcollaborative.org/annual-daf-report), reveals contributions to DAFs increased by 38.6% in Fiscal Year 2024. This significant growth highlights the effectiveness of DAFs as a tool for leveraging appreciated assets, including real property, to maximize charitable impact and optimize tax benefits. As the National Philanthropic Trust noted in their July 01, 2026 publication 'What Tax Reform Means for Charitable Giving in 2026' (https://www.nptrust.org/newsroom/what-tax-reform-means-for-charitable-giving-in-2026), more donors are discovering that the most tax-efficient charitable gift is often not cash.
