A Jericho sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.
A Jericho property can sit listed for a full season before it closes. A charitable transfer typically wraps in weeks once title review is complete.
For many owners a long-held Jericho property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
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.
A Jericho sale nets you cash, but only after agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, and capital gains tax are subtracted. What reaches your pocket is a fraction of the headline price.
A donation removes those subtractions. There is no commission and no capital gains event, and the charitable deduction is calculated on the property's full fair market value rather than the reduced net of a sale.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
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.
The featured partner is a 501(c)(3) experienced with real estate gifts. You are never required to use it — you can pick any charity you like. But if your main goal is the tax deduction and the convenience, and you would rather not research organizations one by one, asking to route your property to the featured partner is the simplest option.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
A partial or fractional interest can sometimes be donated, but the tax rules are stricter than for a whole-property gift. If you are considering a partial donation, discuss it with your tax advisor first.
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 New York specifics with a local tax advisor.
