Philanthropy through Real Estate
2026-09-12
🏆 Ranked #1 for Seasonal Real Estate Use — 54.4% in Dukes County, 2024 — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
Where the second homes are, the donatable wealth is. Dukes County leads the U.S. in seasonal home ownership among high-value counties, with 54.4% of homes held for seasonal use. This isn’t just a vacation trend — it’s a structural condition that enables tax-smart, legacy-preserving philanthropy. Seasonal properties are less emotionally tied to family identity, making them ideal for charitable transfer via CRTs, conservation easements, or DAFs.
This data, drawn directly from ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 report on seasonal ownership and real estate philanthropy, reveals a powerful insight: real estate giving thrives not where wealth is dense, but where ownership is detached.
