American Red Cross
Delivers emergency response, blood services, and disaster recovery across the country.
Real estate is the most overlooked charitable asset in Chippewa Falls. A direct donation to a 501(c)(3) means no capital gains tax, no commissions, and a deduction based on the property's full fair market value.

A traditional Chippewa Falls sale means agent fees, staging, repairs, and months of open houses. A donation transfers title directly — none of that applies.
Sell an appreciated Chippewa Falls property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Chippewa Falls property ends the carrying costs in one step.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Getting started is simple: share a few details about the Chippewa Falls property and request a free, no-obligation valuation. There is no commitment at this stage and no cost to ask.
From there, a qualified 501(c)(3) equipped to accept real estate reviews the property and handles the appraisal coordination, title work, and closing directly with you. Easy Real Estate Donation connects you with that organization — the donation itself is completed between you and the charity.
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 Chippewa 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.
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.
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.
Typically nothing out of pocket. The receiving charity generally covers title work, closing, and related costs, and there are no agent commissions on a donation.
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.
The receiving charity manages title searches, the deed transfer, and required filings. You provide property details and sign the transfer documents.
When the mortgage exceeds the property's value, a donation gets complicated and the usual deduction may not apply. The receiving charity reviews the loan balance early on so you know where you stand before committing.
