The Salvation Army
Provides shelter, disaster relief, addiction recovery, and food assistance to people in crisis.
An empty house in New Square is rarely a free asset — property taxes, insurance, and upkeep continue whether anyone lives there or not. A charitable donation ends those costs and replaces them with a fair-market-value deduction.

Raw land is one of the hardest assets to sell — it draws a narrow pool of buyers and earns nothing while it waits. Yet undeveloped parcels around Rockland County still generate a property tax bill every year.
Qualified charities accept vacant land as readily as houses. A donation turns an idle, cost-only holding near New Square into a fair-market-value deduction without the long marketing period a lot usually demands.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. You do not need to live in New Square — or in New York — to donate property there. The receiving charity handles the transfer, and documents can typically be signed remotely.
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.
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.
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.
Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.
The receiving charity manages title searches, the deed transfer, and required filings. You provide property details and sign the transfer documents.
