Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property can make a great gift to Children's Home Society of California.
Your real property may be given to Children's Home Society of California by executing or signing a deed transferring ownership. You may deed part or all of your real property to Children's Home Society of California. Your gift will generally be based on the property's fair market value, which must be established by an independent appraisal.
