Bargain Sale
Sell your property to Dartmouth for below its fair market value, and you receive cash while also making a charitable gift.
Benefits
In the short term, you receive payment for the sale of your property, take a charitable tax deduction, and possibly reduce your capital gains tax bill. Longer term, you reduce your estate taxes and lower probate costs.

How It Works
Sell real estate or other tangible personal property to Dartmouth for less than the fair market value. In addition to the cash you receive, the difference between the selling price and assessed value is considered a contribution to the College. Dartmouth later sells the property and directs the money earned toward the programs you’ve chosen.
