Donate Real Estate

Create a Lasting Impact

If you own property that you no longer use, maintain, or need, consider donating it to support caregiving and disability services that help individuals and families live more independently.

Through the Easterseals Real Estate Donation Program, you can donate qualifying real estate assets while helping sustain programs that expand opportunity, independence, and well-being. Whether it's vacant land, a second home, rental property, or commercial real estate, our partner handles the process from evaluation through closing.

No commissions. No closing costs. Potential tax benefits.
