Donate Real Estate

Real estate is often one of a person's most valuable assets. Many donors choose this gift when a property is no longer needed, requires ongoing upkeep, has grown greatly in value, or is hard to pass on to family.

What you can give

Homes and condominiums
Commercial or rental property
Land or undeveloped property
Property held personally or through an estate

Ways to give

Outright gift during your lifetime

Transfer the property to Fundamaya or an approved intermediary. It is typically sold and the proceeds support our mission. This may provide immediate tax benefits and ends ongoing property costs.

Retained life estate (primarily U.S.)

Donate your property now while keeping the right to live in or use it for life. Ownership passes to Fundamaya afterward.

Gift through your will or trust

Designate property to Fundamaya in your will or trust, in the U.S., Canada or Guatemala, with no impact on your finances today.

Potential benefits

Possible charitable income tax deductions (U.S. and Canada)
Potential reduction or avoidance of capital gains taxes
Simpler estate settlement
A legacy rooted in dignity and Indigenous leadership

We review each gift case by case: location and condition, environmental and legal considerations, and the costs of holding or selling. Tax treatment varies by country; please consult a qualified attorney, accountant or notario.
