Topic: Real Estate = Abundant Opportunities for Donors and Charities
Summary:
Real Estate is an incredible opportunity not only for donors, but also for the charities. For most donors, real estate assets create challenges and charities have a tremendous opportunity to solve these challenges provided the charity designs systems that are consistent, workable, and successful for both the charity and for the donor. With real estate comprising at least 50% of the average American’s wealth, how can charities and donors not work together?
