Builds affordable homes alongside families in need across all 50 states and 70+ countries.
A Warren County 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.

Income property comes with a workload — tenants, repairs, vacancies, and the bookkeeping that follows. When a Warren County 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.
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
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.
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. 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.
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.
Possibly. Charities accept properties with environmental questions but allow extra time for inspections and due diligence. Disclosing known concerns up front helps the receiving charity assess whether it can take the gift.
