Gifts of Personal Property

Donate books, artwork or equipment and secure an income tax deduction.

How It Works

You transfer a valuable painting, antiques, or other personal property to AARP Foundation.
AARP Foundation may use the property in support of our programs and services or may sell the property and use the proceeds.

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 is used by AARP Foundation in support of our programs and services.
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 AARP Foundation in the future.
You can make a non-cash gift that immediately benefits AARP Foundation.
