How do I arrange a gift from my retirement plan?

How do I donate land or real estate for the Attainable Homeownership Tax Credit Program?
All land donations must be approved by the local Habitat affiliate as suitable for their use, prior to making the donation. In addition to approval, there must be a third-party appraisal performed to establish the value. Once this is completed, there will be title work performed at Barrister Title to ensure clear title. At that time, a corporate warranty deed will be prepared. No limited warranty deeds will be allowed. To process the tax credit, the donor will need to fill out a tax credit donor contribution form and attach a copy of the appraisal when sending it to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana. The first step in making a land/real estate donation is talking with your local Habitat affiliate.
How do I make an in-kind donation for the Attainable Homeownership Tax Credit Program?
An in-kind gift must be approved and received by the local Habitat affiliate and in-kind donation form will need to be completed. The tax credit is for building new units of homeownership, so materials must be used in construction to meet that goal. To process the tax credit, send the tax credit donor contribution form and attach a copy of the in-kind donation form to send to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana.
