Donate Personal Assets

You can help build up our community chest by donating your personal treasures to SDPB.

A gift of tangible personal property can include items such as artwork, jewelry, antiques, and other physical objects. A popular benefit of an outright gift of your personal property is an immediate charitable tax deduction. This deduction is maximized when you donate property that:

• Has increased in value since the time you acquired it,
• You’ve owned the property for more than one year, and
• The property will be used to further the mission of SDPB (like delivering educational programming to pre-school and school-aged children). 

You will also be able to avoid capital gains tax on the transfer. If it’s more convenient to give later, you can also make a gift of your personal treasures through your will or revocable living trust.
