Donate Land and Create a Legacy of Impact

 

Donating land to our IRS‑approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit is more than a generous gift — it’s a way to transform lives while receiving substantial tax benefits. If you own property that has appreciated in value or has become a non‑producing asset in your portfolio, now may be the perfect time to consider a real estate donation.

 

 What Kind of Land We’re Seeking

​

• Buildable land, with or without existing structures (including fixer‑uppers)

• Acreage between 8 and 10 acres

• Zoned for mixed use development

• Access to water and sewer

 

Why Donate Land to Charity?

​

• Fair Market Value Tax Deduction for your contribution

• Avoid Capital Gains Taxes on appreciated property

• Eliminate ongoing costs such as maintenance, insurance, and property taxes

• Free yourself from underperforming or unwanted property

• Support a worthy cause that creates safe, inclusive communities for adults with autism and special needs

 

Real Estate Tax Deductions (Consult your tax profession or go to IRS.gov)

​

For individual donors, these rules may apply (please consult your tax professional):

• Property held for more than one year is classified as long‑term capital gain property. You may deduct the full fair market value of the donated property.

• Charitable contribution deductions are limited to certain percentages of your adjusted gross income, with excess value carried forward for up to five years.

• If the property has been depreciated, the fair market value must be reduced by accumulated depreciation.

• Fair Market Value is typically determined by an independent appraisal.

• Alternatively, you may deduct your cost basis of the property, allowing a deduction of up to 50% of your adjusted gross income, with excesses carried forward for five years.

• The method you choose depends on factors such as cost basis, tax bracket, age, health, and future giving plans.

✨ Your Gift Builds More Than Property

​

By donating land, you’re not just transferring an asset — you’re helping us create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing community where autistic adults and those with special needs can live independently, work with dignity, and thrive.
