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.

Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of Hampton Manor real estate held longer than a year, up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with a five-year carryforward for any excess.
A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 substantiate the deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with your own advisor.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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 applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
The featured partner is a 501(c)(3) experienced with real estate gifts. You are never required to use it — you can pick any charity you like. But if your main goal is the tax deduction and the convenience, and you would rather not research organizations one by one, asking to route your property to the featured partner is the simplest option.
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
No. Donating the property directly to a charity means you never realize the gain, so the capital gains tax that a sale would trigger does not apply.
Yes. You do not need to live in Hampton Manor — or in New York — to donate property there. The receiving charity handles the transfer, and documents can typically be signed remotely.
