Hi,
There is a view that one who writes (or funds the writing of) a Torah and then gives it away has not fulfilled his obligation to write a Torah. Therefore, it is assumed, by default, that people who 'donate' a Torah to a shul for its use only mean to lend it to the shul, and are not actually giving it to the shul.
Therefore, a shul may not sell a Torah which was donated to the shul; the Torah is not truly theirs.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 2:39)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
