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.

Income property comes with a workload — tenants, repairs, vacancies, and the bookkeeping that follows. When a Vidalia owner is ready to step back, a sale can mean capital gains tax plus depreciation recapture.
Donating the building instead routes its full value to charity and ends the management role in a single transfer. Existing leases and the property's condition are reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
