Proceeds from your gift fund real programs — housing, youth services, food security — operating in and around Rialto.
Donors who itemize can deduct the full appraised value of Rialto real estate, often the single largest charitable write-off available in a given year.
For many owners a long-held Rialto property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
