Donate Real Estate or Property

Are you looking to donate real estate or property to a 501(c)3 tax-deductible non-profit? Do you want to ensure that your gift not only provides you with tax benefits, but also makes a real impact? By donating to Alchemist Community Development Corporation (Alchemist CDC), you can be sure that your gift creates a legacy for the good of communities in the Sacramento region.

If you are interested in exploring such a donation, please contact us to begin a conversation. We are happy to speak with you and work with you to explore the possibilities of a donation through giving structures. Every property is unique and we can discuss together whether a property might be put the most effective use by allowing Alchemist CDC to sell it, to integrate the property into our operations, etc. We will even let you know if we know of another organization who might be able to put the property to more effective use than we can.

What are the benefits of donating real estate?

While the following should not be taken as legal, financial, or tax advice, and we recommend consulting with your own counsel, there are several likely benefits, including:

1.  Providing a large tax deduction, as these are determined by fair market value rather than original purchase price.
2. If a property has proven difficult to maintain, sell, or is under-performing, donating the real estate can help prevent forfeiture while still providing a deduction.
3. Making an impact by helping Alchemist CDC, a non-profit with a demonstrated track record of effectiveness, to maintain and grow our work connecting communities to land, food, and opportunity.
