A Donation You Can’t, and Shouldn’t, Refuse
A Retirement Home Can Fill their Vacancies Faster while – Helping Seniors Move In Without the Hassle of Selling Their Home
Gifts of Real Estate Unlock the Power of Philanthropy.
The Problem:
- You have vacancies in your retirement community that need to be filled.
- Seniors want to move in but don’t have the cash because they’re waiting to sell their home.
- They “plan to sell soon” but never take action, delaying their move and putting their future at risk.
- Meanwhile, they’re aging, and the risk of Alzheimer’s or other conditions can make the move impossible if they wait too long.

We eliminate the hassle, making the transition fast, seamless, and risk-free for everyone. It’s the simplest real estate gift you can accept.
Here’s how it works:
- Seniors unload their home quickly with a structured sale—no waiting for the market.
- They receive cash now to cover buy-in fees, rent, or care expenses.
- The remaining portion becomes a tax-deductible charitable gift.
- Zero risk to your community—the transaction is secured before move-in, and funds are directed into your endowment or designated account.
