How It Works

  • You transfer a valuable painting, antique, or other personal property to Rochester Regional Health Foundations.
  • Rochester Regional Health Foundations may hold and display the property or use it in the furtherance of its mission.
  • Rochester Regional Health Foundations may sell the property at some point in the future and use the proceeds for its mission.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of your gift and pay no capital gains tax, so long as the gift can be used by Rochester Regional Health Foundations to carry out its mission.
  • In certain cases, you can use personal property to fund a life-income gift that provides you and/or other loved ones with an income now and benefits Rochester Regional Health Foundations in the future.
  • Without using cash, you can make a gift that is immediately beneficial to Rochester Regional Health Foundations.
