Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
A Perry property carries real value — and real costs. Donating it to a qualified charity converts years of appreciation into a single fair-market-value write-off while sidestepping the capital gains bill a sale would trigger.

Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Perry property ends the carrying costs in one step.
A property donation in Perry skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
A traditional Perry sale means agent fees, staging, repairs, and months of open houses. A donation transfers title directly — none of that applies.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

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.
Most giving happens in cash, but cash is rarely a donor's most appreciated asset. Across Houston County, a long-held home can represent decades of untaxed appreciation that a cash gift will never match.
Donating that property directly — rather than selling it and giving the proceeds — keeps the capital gains tax out of the equation entirely and routes the full value to the cause you choose.
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.
A charitable deduction only lowers your taxes if you itemize. If you take the standard deduction, a property gift still avoids capital gains and ends the carrying costs, but the charitable write-off itself would not apply — your tax advisor can weigh this for your situation.
Yes. You select the cause that fits your intent. We can also route your gift to a featured partner organization equipped to handle real estate efficiently.
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.
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.
Yes, though every owner on the title generally must agree to and sign the transfer. Jointly owned and inherited properties are common donations once the co-owners are aligned.
