Owning real property can help a foundation advance its mission\, support its operations\, or make a long-term investment in the communities it serves. \;


But property ownership also brings responsibilities and complexities that can extend well beyond the initial acquisition.


This 90-minute webinar will help private and community foundations better understand the legal\, accounting\, tax\, operational\, and stewardship considerations associated with owning or managing real property. Legal and accounting professionals will highlight key issues foundations should consider\, including liability and risk mitigation\, ownership structures such as LLCs\, charitable versus non-charitable use of property\, unrelated business income tax (UBIT)\, accounting and reporting requirements\, leases and tenant relationships\, and ongoing maintenance obligations.


Participants will also hear directly from foundation leaders with experience owning and managing property. Through a facilitated discussion\, panelists will share lessons learned\, considerations that shaped their approaches\, and questions they wish they had asked earlier in the process.


Whether your foundation already owns property\, is considering an acquisition\, or simply wants to better understand the implications of property ownership\, this session will provide a practical framework for identifying risks\, asking the right questions\, and approaching real estate as a responsible long-term steward.

✅ Identify key legal\, tax\, accounting\, and liability considerations associated with foundation-owned property.
