At Home Builders Foundation, we know that giving looks different for everyone. While many of our supporters give generously through direct contributions, there are impactful ways to support our mission beyond writing a check. When you donate non-cash assets, you can make a meaningful difference while potentially maximizing your tax benefits.
Whether you’re a business owner, an individual, or part of a family foundation, your non-cash gift can help build independence and elevate lives for individuals living with physical disabilities.
Non-cash giving includes gifts of assets other than cash, such as stocks, real estate, retirement funds, and more. These giving strategies can help reduce capital gains taxes, support estate planning goals, and often allow you to give more than you might with a cash donation alone.
Giving non-cash assets is one of the most tax-smart ways to give. It can help you:
Home Builders Foundation welcomes a wide range of non-cash gifts—and we’ll work closely with you and your advisors to ensure the process is simple, secure, and aligned with your goals.
Use the sections below to explore the types of non-cash gifts that can support Home Builders Foundation’s mission of building independence and elevating lives.
Donating publicly traded stock that you’ve held for more than a year allows you to avoid capital gains tax and deduct the full fair market value of the asset.

You want to reduce your taxable income

These gifts offer meaningful tax advantages while supporting long-term impact in our community.
