Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
A Bonne Terre home that has appreciated for decades carries a quiet tax bill that a sale would make real. Donating the property instead leaves that capital gain unrealized and routes the full value to a cause you select.

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.
Income property comes with a workload — tenants, repairs, vacancies, and the bookkeeping that follows. When a Bonne Terre 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.
Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.

Often yes, though a mortgage adds complexity and can affect the deduction. The charity will review the outstanding loan balance during the assessment stage.
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.
