THE GIFT OF LAND - a gift that will keep on giving.

Do you own land zoned and suitable for building homes?  One day, if you decide to sell all or part of it, you will be required to pay Capital Gains tax on it's appreciated value.   We're a nonprofit charity. By either gifting to Habitat, or selling a portion of your land to us below market value, you can take a tax deduction of the value of the gift, tremendously offsetting your tax liability.  In many cases, such a gift can eliminate the Capital Gains tax entirely, essentially costing you nothing - it merely goes to Habitat instead of the Tax Man. We can put you in touch with qualified investment professionals that will  assist you in doing this the right way. Habitat for Humanity in Whatcom County cannot build homes without land.  Our prayer is that God will touch the hearts of land owners to donate a building parcel today. 

PLANNED GIVING - The opportunity to direct your wealth when you no longer need it.

IRA Charitable Rollover - a way to capture tax savings and benefit very poor people in need of simple, decent housing. Speak with your legal, tax or financial advisor for more information.

Another gifting option is to include us in your will for an on-going memorial in the future.  Land, securities, valuables, personal possessions or assets, money - your attorney can assist you in your desire to leave a legacy.  Imagine the difference you could make in many people's lives long after you are gone.

VALUABLES, APPRECIATED SECURITIES, and nearly anything of value.

Your gift today of jewelry, securities, automobiles, appliances, or other items, which we can sell for cash, is tax-deductible.  You can donate cash by check or online and you will be mailed a receipt for tax purposes. See below for the best option, or phone our office if you have an item to donate.

 Thank you!
