GIFTS & DONATIONS
The Real Estate & Asset Management Department coordinates with University Advancement and the Office of Planned Giving for gifts of both real estate and personal property to the University of Southern California. The university can accommodate many types of real estate gifts including out-right gifts, partial interests and restricted gifts such as life estates. Personal property gifts may include cars, boats, artwork, and other items of value.
Gifts are generally made under two categories: gifts that will be used by a school or department; and gifts that are to be sold. All gifts undergo proper due diligence prior to a decision to accept the gift and being processed via the university’s acceptance policy.
Generally, donations to the university are fully tax-deductible. The university is a non-profit, public-benefit organization and so gifts and donations to USC are considered charitable contributions. The Real Estate & Asset Management Department tries to accommodate all gifts, but some donations cannot be accepted. Additionally, each donation has particular tax guidelines to follow. Donors should contact their tax advisor or tax accountant when inquiring about their individual tax consequences.
