Question I have interest in an LLC which I would like to donate to a
501(C)3, however this would cause obvious UBIT problems.
could I donate it to a donor advised fund at a community
foundation instead and then when the LLC is liquid, the
proceeds could go to the 501? is there anyway to allow me to
donate LLC interest now, recognize the taxable deduction,
and not have it cause problems for the 501, given they LLC
interest could not be sold for a few years.
Answer First I would need to know if the LLC interest comes with any management responsibility, like a general partner, or would it be, in the alternative, a limited partnership interest (no authority).
