Why Donate Real Estate?
Real estate is often one of a person's most valuable assets—and one of the most meaningful ways to support a cause you care about.
Depending on your circumstances, a gift of real estate may allow you to:
Make a transformational charitable contribution
Potentially reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes
Receive a charitable income tax deduction for the value of the property
Simplify your estate and philanthropic planning
Leave a lasting legacy for families in our community
Please consult your attorney, tax professional, or financial advisor regarding the specific benefits available to you.
Types of Property We May Accept
Hamilton Families may consider gifts of many different types of real estate, including:
Each property is evaluated individually to ensure it aligns with our mission and gift acceptance policies.
How It Works
Step 1
Contact our Development Team to discuss your property and your philanthropic goals.
Step 2
We'll conduct a confidential review of the property and work with you and your advisors to determine whether a real estate gift is the right fit.
Step 3
If accepted, we'll guide you through the transfer process and coordinate with your legal, financial, and real estate professionals every step of the way.
A Transformational Way to Give
Real estate gifts have the power to create extraordinary impact.
Hamilton Families has previously received a donated property that ultimately generated more than $1 million to support families experiencing homelessness. Gifts like these help expand our ability to provide shelter, housing, and long-term stability for families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Your property could become the foundation for another family's fresh start.
Your Gift Changes Lives
The proceeds from a real estate donation help families move beyond homelessness and toward long-term stability.
Your generosity can support:
Emergency shelter for families in crisis
Rapid Re-Housing and rental assistance
Homelessness prevention services
Children's educational and wellness programs
Housing navigation and long-term stability services
Our new Anti-Poverty initiatives
Every gift helps ensure more children have a safe place to sleep and every parent has the opportunity to build a brighter future.
