For many owners a long-held Tanglewilde property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
Donors who itemize can deduct the full appraised value of Tanglewilde real estate, often the single largest charitable write-off available in a given year.
A property donation in Tanglewilde skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.

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.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Thurston County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Tanglewilde property and request a free valuation. From there you are connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that handles the appraisal, title transfer, and closing directly with you.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
The deduction applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
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.
