Questions
Before transferring an asset.
Should I sell the asset before giving it?
Do not make that decision from this page alone. Giving an asset and selling it first can have different tax consequences. Ask your qualified adviser which approach fits your circumstances.
Who determines the value of a non-cash gift?
Valuation requirements depend on the asset and applicable law. You are responsible for obtaining any required appraisal and tax advice; we cannot establish your deductible value.
Can Favor accept every real-estate or vehicle gift?
No. Ask us first. We review complex assets for ownership, condition, liabilities, marketability, restrictions, and the cost of receiving or disposing of the asset.
How will Favor identify my stock transfer?
Brokerage transfers may arrive without complete donor information. Tell us through a non-sensitive channel when the transfer is initiated, but do not email account numbers or private credentials.
Will I receive a receipt?
We acknowledge accepted contributions, but the contents and tax treatment of the receipt depend on the asset and transaction. Confirm documentation requirements with us and your adviser.
Can I restrict a non-cash gift to one project?
Ask us before the transfer. We need to accept the restriction first, and we will confirm with you that the project is active and that the asset can be used or sold in a way that fulfills your purpose.
What if Favor cannot accept the asset?
Please do not transfer it. We may be able to suggest another giving vehicle, but we cannot receive every complex asset.
