Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Giving real estate sounds complicated. In practice, a Audubon donation is mostly paperwork the receiving charity prepares — a title review, a deed transfer, and a qualified appraisal you arrange to substantiate the deduction.

Donors who itemize can deduct the full appraised value of Audubon real estate, often the single largest charitable write-off available in a given year.
For many owners a long-held Audubon property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
A property donation in Audubon 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.

Income property comes with a workload — tenants, repairs, vacancies, and the bookkeeping that follows. When a Audubon 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.
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.

No. Charities that accept real estate routinely take properties that need repairs, including distressed or uninhabitable buildings. Condition is reflected in the appraised value rather than ruling a property out.
Largely, yes. A donation avoids the public listing and price history a sale creates. The deed transfer itself becomes a public record, as all property transfers do, but the gift draws far less attention than an open-market sale.
Often yes. Liens and unpaid property taxes add steps but do not automatically disqualify a gift. The receiving charity reviews any encumbrances during its assessment and explains how they affect the donation.
Yes. Farmland, ranch land, and other agricultural property can be donated like any other real estate. Acreage with crops, leases, or water rights is reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
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.
