Gifts of Mineral Interests
Donating mineral rights or royalty interests — such as oil, gas, or other natural resources — is a unique and impactful way to support K-LOVE's mission. Whether you give a producing interest or future royalties, your gift can create lasting Kingdom impact from resources beneath the surface.
Why donate mineral interests?
If you own mineral rights or receive royalties, you can turn that value into a meaningful charitable gift. Whether through an outright donation, a bequest, or an assignment of royalty income, this type of gift may reduce taxes and provide ongoing support for ministry.
Benefits of donating mineral interests
- Possible income tax deduction based on appraised value
- May reduce estate or inheritance tax burdens
- Avoid management or recordkeeping responsibilities
- Support K-LOVE with an asset that many overlook
- Create a faith-based legacy from God-given resources
Ways to give
- Outright gift of full or fractional mineral ownership
- Assignment of royalty income from currently producing wells
- Bequest of mineral interests through your will or trust
- Transfer into a charitable trust for income during life and a future gift to K-LOVE
How it works
- You contact your advisor to confirm title and income rights.
- You complete a deed or assignment transferring ownership or income rights to K-LOVE.
- K-LOVE may choose to retain or sell the interest, using the proceeds to share the hope of Jesus.
- You receive an acknowledgment of your gift, and possibly a charitable deduction based on valuation.
All mineral gifts are subject to review and acceptance. K-LOVE may request an appraisal or title verification prior to acceptance.

A gift of mineral interests may be a good fit if you:
- No longer wish to manage or track royalty income
