All offer varying tax advantages, depending on whether you own the property outright or share ownership, and how much the property has appreciated. You also can choose to donate any tangible personal property inside the building as a separate gift.

In most circumstances, your charitable contribution is based on the appraised value of the real estate at the time the gift is transferred to Qurbani Foundation. Your deduction can equal up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. On an appreciated property, you avoid capital gains tax by donating the real estate to Qurbani Foundation prior to its sale.
