Bargain Purchase

Bargain purchase

When you allow IU to purchase your property at a price below its actual market value, the difference between the two becomes a generous gift to the university.

How a gift of a bargain purchase can benefit you:

  • A bargain purchase can be a savvy choice if your property has appreciated in value.
  • You can benefit from your investment in your home while also supporting IU.
  • It’s the only giving option that allows you to receive a lump sum of cash and claim a tax deduction simultaneously.

Through this well-executed process, our gifts have made a lasting impact on student opportunities.
