Donate Real Estate, Change Lives.
Empower Change: Donate Your Real Estate for a Brighter Tomorrow.
Why Donate Real Estate
Donating real estate is a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy and make a significant impact on the causes and communities you care about. By choosing to donate, you can unlock numerous benefits, including potential tax advantages and the satisfaction of knowing your property will support a meaningful purpose. Your generosity can create positive change and can transform underutilized assets into valuable resources for those in need, contributing to a better future for generations to come.
Significant Tax Deduction
You can receive a substantial tax deduction based on the appraised value of your real estate property donation, leading to significant tax savings.
Skip The Hassles of Selling
Selling can be time-consuming and stressful, often involving upgrades, repairs, negotiations, and marketing. Donating eliminates these challenges, making it a convenient exit strategy.
No Capital Gains Tax
When selling, you would typically have to pay a capital gains tax – a tax on any profits you make from the sale. However, by donating, you can avoid this capital gains tax.
Personal Fulfillment & Lasting Legacy
Feel personally rewarded knowing your donation is a legacy of compassion and support – that it will continue to touch lives for years, leaving a lasting impact on our communities.
Freedom From Property Responsibilities
Donating provides you with an escape from ongoing maintenance and repair costs, property taxes, insurance, and other related expenses – amounting to thousands of dollars annually.
Support Our Troops & The Fight Against Cancer
Your donation can fund initiatives like healthcare and employment opportunities for our veterans or initiatives like breast cancer treatments and the research for a cure.

Once you contact us, we will thoroughly review the property you are offering to donate – from its title to zoning, liens, condition, and any possible environmental concerns. In addition, we’ll take a look at the local real estate market, look at comps in the area, and look at the cost of any repairs, if needed. Once we decide to accept your donation, we will take care of the appraisal and all the paperwork, including deed transfer and closing. We will deliver you the receipt and the proper IRS forms for tax deduction purposes.
The average time varies based on property type and location. However, it typically takes anywhere from 30-180 days from first contact to final transfer. Property appraisal, title search, and legal document preparation may influence the duration. It may take even longer if there are additional complexities, such as tenants in the property, property liens, or ongoing litigation.

While we deeply appreciate the generosity of our donors, we are unable to accept donations of grave plots due to the complex legal and regulatory issues surrounding burial rights and cemetery land. Additionally, we are unable to process timeshare donations due to the complexities associated with their ownership and the potential for ongoing financial obligations.
The tax deduction amount that real estate donors can claim is based on the property’s full appraised value, not the sale price. We recommend you consult with your tax advisor to understand the specific benefits of your tax situation.
