How Does It Work

1. Please call us to discuss the type of property, possible uses of your gift by Southwestern University, and getting an appraisal
2. You receive a charitable income-tax deduction if its use is related to Southwestern University's exempt purposes
3. Southwestern University can keep or sell property after 3 years
   

Benefits
