Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Donating real estate is not reserved for the wealthy. Any West Park owner with appreciated property, a parcel they no longer need, or a building they are done managing can give it to a 501(c)(3) and claim the deduction.

For many owners a long-held West Park property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a West Park property ends the carrying costs in one step.
A property donation in West Park skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Most giving happens in cash, but cash is rarely a donor's most appreciated asset. Across Broward County, a long-held home can represent decades of untaxed appreciation that a cash gift will never match.
Donating that property directly — rather than selling it and giving the proceeds — keeps the capital gains tax out of the equation entirely and routes the full value to the cause you choose.
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from property to philanthropy. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of West Park real estate held longer than a year, up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with a five-year carryforward for any excess.
A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 substantiate the deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with your own advisor.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
When the mortgage exceeds the property's value, a donation gets complicated and the usual deduction may not apply. The receiving charity reviews the loan balance early on so you know where you stand before committing.
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the West Park property and request a free valuation. From there you are connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that handles the appraisal, title transfer, and closing directly with you.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
It depends on the organization. Some charities sell donated real estate and direct the proceeds to their programs; others may put a property to use directly. The receiving charity can explain its intended use before you complete the gift.
Fair market value for a real estate deduction is established by a qualified appraisal, not by an online estimate or the tax-assessed value. The IRS requires that appraisal for property gifts above $5,000.
A partial or fractional interest can sometimes be donated, but the tax rules are stricter than for a whole-property gift. If you are considering a partial donation, discuss it with your tax advisor first.
