The Salvation Army
Provides shelter, disaster relief, addiction recovery, and food assistance to people in crisis.
Not every Lake Magdalene 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.

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.
