Personal Property

Overview of Personal Property process - details described below.

How It Works    

  1. You transfer a painting, antiques, collectibles or other personal property to Penn Medicine.   
  2. Penn Medicine may elect to hold the property and use it in the furtherance of its mission. Penn Medicine may elect to sell the property at some point in the future and use the proceeds for its programs.

Benefits

  • You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift and pay no capital gains tax, provided you have owned the property for more than a year and your gift satisfies the “related use” requirements of the I.R.S.
  • In certain cases, you can use personal property to fund a life-income gift, such as a FLIP Unitrust, that benefits Penn Medicine and provides you with income now.
  • You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now to Penn Medicine without adversely affecting your cash flow.
