Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Not every Holladay property is worth the effort of a sale. An aging rental, a vacant lot, or an inherited house can cost more to carry and clean up than it returns at closing. Donating it to a qualified charity ends the expense and creates a charitable deduction in its place.

The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
Raw land is one of the hardest assets to sell — it draws a narrow pool of buyers and earns nothing while it waits. Yet undeveloped parcels around Salt Lake County still generate a property tax bill every year.
Qualified charities accept vacant land as readily as houses. A donation turns an idle, cost-only holding near Holladay into a fair-market-value deduction without the long marketing period a lot usually demands.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
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.
Often yes, though a mortgage adds complexity and can affect the deduction. The charity will review the outstanding loan balance during the assessment stage.
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.
Yes. The IRS requires a qualified appraisal to substantiate a real estate deduction over $5,000, and the appraisal must be completed close to the donation date. The receiving charity can point you toward qualified appraisers.
Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a property gift affects your specific deduction, income, and filing situation. The receiving charity handles the transaction, but the tax planning is yours.
