Philanthropy through Real Estate

How are conservation easement tax benefits changing? The National Philanthropic Trust reports a 3.8% average deduction rate in 2025 — down from 6.2% five years ago. What does this mean for real estate philanthropy? Is donor confidence waning? This data, from the National Philanthropic Trust, highlights how shifting tax incentives could be reshaping land preservation giving. As deductions decrease, donors may reconsider their approach to conservation easements and environmental impact. For those planning charitable giving strategies, this trend suggests a re-evaluation of land-based philanthropy models.
