Anyone selling a home is in the position to be a philanthropist, while working with their own realtor.
If you are selling your house, a vacation home or piece of property there is a simple way you can make a gift to Thorncroft at no cost to you. A donor's sale of private property can provide a gift of 3 - 5% to Thorncroft. This is accomplished in a similar fashion to the giving of appreciated securities, in this case the transfer of your property when you are ready to sell generates tax benefits and cash for you and your favorite charities. This innovation in philanthropy employs a common asset in an unusual and straightforward way, through the The Legacy Property Fund of the Keystone Conservation Trust. This new method has helped a donor give $300k to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), ensuring its future health, while saving 16% in taxes. The Keystone Conservation Trust is a non-profit conservation organization which has provided a means of giving millions of dollars of charitable donations to more than 30 organizations
