Impact & benefits

What land donation gives you—and the communities you care about.

Donating property isn\'t a gimmick or a spreadsheet exercise. It\'s how you turn an underused asset into a concrete contribution while relieving yourself of the stress, cost, and uncertainty of holding or selling.

Direct nonprofit placement

Each parcel is matched with a mission-driven 501(c)(3) so the land is used, preserved, or monetized for impact—never held in limbo.

Land-only concierge

From mineral rights questions to utility easements, our team navigates the land-specific wrinkles that stall traditional brokers.

End carrying costs

Property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and maintenance obligations disappear the moment the deed transfers.

Legacy-ready documentation

We coordinate appraisals, acknowledgments, and closing packets so your family and advisors can show exactly how the gift was completed.

Impact you can point to

DonateLand represents nonprofits such as Veterans Opportunity Program (EIN 47-3763471), housing ministries, educational foundations, and conservation groups. Your land powers:

  • • Acquisition of property for shelters, community centers, and campuses.
  • • Sale proceeds that fund scholarships, veteran services, or job training.
  • • Conservation easements that preserve wildlife corridors and public access.
  • • Agricultural programs that bring healthy food and employment to rural communities.

What donors tell us they value most

“We knew exactly which nonprofit would benefit, and the deed transferred within a month.”
“The tax benefit was great, but the best part was seeing the land fund permanent housing.”
“DonateLand handled every signature, so my attorney just reviewed the final package.”
