Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
An empty house in Crawfordville is rarely a free asset — property taxes, insurance, and upkeep continue whether anyone lives there or not. A charitable donation ends those costs and replaces them with a fair-market-value deduction.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
No. Donating the property directly to a charity means you never realize the gain, so the capital gains tax that a sale would trigger does not apply.
A charitable deduction only lowers your taxes if you itemize. If you take the standard deduction, a property gift still avoids capital gains and ends the carrying costs, but the charitable write-off itself would not apply — your tax advisor can weigh this for your situation.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Wakulla County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
Yes. A gift of real property to a qualified 501(c)(3) is generally deductible at fair market value if you itemize and have held the property more than a year. A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 document the deduction.
The deduction applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
The deduction for real estate is generally capped at 30% of adjusted gross income in the year of the gift, but any excess carries forward for up to five additional years.
