California is a state that has many diverse needs. Deserving charitable organizations and private individuals are in great need throughout the state of California, which makes a California property donation ideal for willing participants in the state. A California property donation is a way for businesses and private property holders to give their unused or unwanted real estate property to a charity so that it can either be repurposed or used to generate a stream of income that can then in turn be used to support a needy and deserving organization.

In very basic terms, a property owner or owners transfer ownership of their property to a charity that either rehabilitates and uses the property, hands control of a property over to another charitable organization or humanitarian program, or sells the property to generate money that is used to support one or (more likely) many individuals, programs, or organizations. Given the variety of properties in California and the diverse needs of the state's inhabitants, there is virtually no limit to the uses for a California real estate donation.

California Tax Deduction = Current Market Value

The size of the tax deduction is determined by the current market value of the California property, as opposed to the cost of the property when it was purchased. So if you purchased your property in 1968 for $92,000 and today in 2009 it is worth $812,000, the current value is what you base your tax deduction on and in this case it will be quite substantial.
