Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
An empty house in Round Lake Park 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.

Proceeds from your gift fund real programs — housing, youth services, food security — operating in and around Round Lake Park.
A property donation in Round Lake Park skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
A Round Lake Park sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. You select the cause that fits your intent. We can also route your gift to a featured partner organization equipped to handle real estate efficiently.
Typically nothing out of pocket. The receiving charity generally covers title work, closing, and related costs, and there are no agent commissions on a donation.
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.
For property held more than a year and given to a public charity, the deduction is generally the fair market value set by a qualified appraisal. The actual tax savings depend on your appraised value, income, and filing situation, so confirm the figure with your tax advisor.
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.
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.
