Because donating can be faster, simpler, and more tax-efficient — especially for hard-to-sell properties.

Many donors come to us after realizing that selling a property may involve months of uncertainty, repairs, agent commissions, closing costs, and capital gains taxes. Donating real estate can allow you to:

• Avoid realtor commissions and many out-of-pocket costs

• Potentially eliminate capital gains taxes

• Receive a charitable tax deduction based on the property’s fair market value

• Transfer ownership quickly — sometimes in weeks, not months

• Support causes that make a real, measurable difference

For properties that are inherited, vacant, distressed, or no longer needed, donation is often the most efficient exit.

More than most people expect.

We accept a wide range of real estate donations, including:

• Single-family homes

• Multi-family properties

• Vacation homes

• Rental properties

• Commercial buildings

• Vacant land

• Inherited or unwanted property

• Properties with deferred maintenance

Even if a property needs work or isn’t currently producing income, it may still qualify.

If you’re unsure whether your property is eligible, we can usually tell you within 24 hours. Choose the type of property donation you want to make or call us to discuss

In most cases, donors do not pay out-of-pocket to donate real estate. We work to structure each donation so that transaction costs are covered through the process itself whenever possible.

If there are any unusual circumstances (such as significant liens or title issues), those are discussed transparently upfront — never as a surprise.

You may receive a charitable deduction based on the property’s fair market value.

When you donate real estate to our qualified nonprofit, you may be eligible for:

• A charitable income tax deduction

• Avoidance of capital gains taxes

• Potential estate tax benefits

Most real estate donations require a qualified appraisal to substantiate the deduction. We guide donors through this process but do not provide tax advice — we encourage coordination with your CPA or tax advisor.

Many donors are surprised by how favorable the tax impact can be compared to selling.

Often much faster than a traditional sale.

While every property is different, many donations can be completed in 30–60 days, sometimes sooner. There’s no listing period, no showings, and no buyer financing delays.

We handle:

• Title review

• Environmental screening (when required)

• Closing coordination

You remain informed at every step, with no pressure to proceed.

It’s used to fund programs that directly change lives.

After donation, properties are typically sold, and the proceeds are used to support charitable programs — including housing stability, transportation assistance, and services for vulnerable families. Click here to learn more about the worthy causes your property donation supports.

Your gift doesn’t sit idle. It becomes working capital for real impact.

A fair question — and a smart one.

You may still qualify.

Some properties with mortgages or liens can still be donated, depending on equity and structure. Each situation is reviewed individually and confidentially.

If a property doesn’t qualify, we’ll tell you — clearly and honestly.

YES!

Many donors prefer privacy. We respect that. Donations can be made anonymously unless disclosure is legally required.

A no-pressure property review.

The first step is simply telling us about the property. There’s no commitment, no cost, and no obligation.

We’ll review:

• Property type and location

• Estimated value

• Any known issues

• Your goals as a donor

From there, you decide whether to move forward.
