Testimonial
Catholic Charities cared for me as a child. Donating our house was a great way to support CCUSA’s mission in return.
Henry was adopted through Catholic Charities. He and his wife wanted to give something back to the ministry that provided him a safe and loving home as a child.
5 simple steps to donate real estate
We make it easy for you to start the ball rolling. Read here or download a step-by-step breakdown of the donation process.
Make an inquiry about your property donation. A representative from CCUSA will speak with you to gather property information.
CCUSA will make an initial evaluation of the property’s suitability for donation, which is usually completed within 24 hours.
The donor then submits CCUSA’s non-binding letter of intent (LOI) form, beginning a 10-day due-diligence period.
When the donation agreement is signed, CCUSA assumes responsibility for the process. Often, the donor’s only obligation is to secure the appraisal, which is fundamental to the donor’s claim for a tax deduction.
CCUSA sells the property and retains the net proceeds.
