Every organization listed for St. Anthony is a pre-screened, IRS-qualified public charity equipped to accept real property.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a St. Anthony property ends the carrying costs in one step.

Most giving happens in cash, but cash is rarely a donor's most appreciated asset. Across Hennepin 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.
Qualified charities accept far more than single-family homes. Condominiums, multi-family buildings, vacant land, commercial space, and even fractional interests are all candidates for donation in St. Anthony.
Property with a mortgage, title complications, or deferred maintenance can still qualify — those details are worked out during the review stage, not before.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.

Yes. Property held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
