Sell an appreciated Parkland property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.
For many owners a long-held Parkland property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
A Parkland property can sit listed for a full season before it closes. A charitable transfer typically wraps in weeks once title review is complete.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.
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.
No. Charities that accept real estate routinely take properties that need repairs, including distressed or uninhabitable buildings. Condition is reflected in the appraised value rather than ruling a property out.
Absolutely. Second homes and vacation properties are common donations — they often carry significant appreciation and ongoing costs that a gift resolves at once.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
