I'd be skeptical until I compared the after-tax yield on the property (say, if the after-tax funds were invested in a SPIA) to whatever the non-profit was offering.
Even then I'd still be tempted to put the money into a REIT.
Everybody thinks depreciation recapture is a bad thing, but it's just a different tax to be paid in order to convert the asset into some other sort of asset.
