Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Not every Glastonbury Center 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.

Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Glastonbury Center property ends the carrying costs in one step.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. There is no limit on the number of properties you can donate. Each gift is appraised and documented separately, and donors with several holdings sometimes give more than one.
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.
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.
State tax treatment of charitable gifts varies — some states offer their own deduction or credit and others do not. Because the rules differ, confirm the Connecticut specifics with a local tax advisor.
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.
