Gifting Forterra Property

Consider gifting vacation homes, commercial property, or raw land directly to Forterra. Forterra’s expert real estate team can often secure maximum value for your property and provide you with a significant tax deduction, in addition to freeing you of the burden of selling the property on your own.

Another option is providing what’s called a life estate to Forterra, in which you live in your home during your lifetime. After your death, the house and property are gifted to Forterra.

Distributing Funds to Forterra’s Mission

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a tax-advantaged gift directly from your IRA to Forterra NW through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A qualifying distribution is generally excluded from taxable income and may count toward your required minimum distribution if you are required to take one.

Ask your IRA custodian to send the contribution directly to Forterra NW, EIN 94-3112461, and please let us know about your gift so we can acknowledge and thank you.

QCD rules and annual limits can change. Please consult your financial or tax adviser about your individual circumstances

Naming Forterra in Your Will

Depending on your circumstances, naming Forterra as a beneficiary may provide estate or income tax benefits.
