Guidelines for Donating Real Estate

Thank you for your interest in making a donation of real estate to North Hills Community Outreach! We will gladly consider accepting gifts of real estate (any parcel of land with or without buildings on it) that are consistent with our mission, values and strategic goals of helping local people in poverty, hardship and crisis.

Responsibilities of the Donor:

Because of our responsibility to our other donors to be good stewards of their donations, NHCO simply cannot be responsible for the vast majority of the costs associated with your generous gift. Therefore:

• The donor agrees to bear all legal fees for completion of the gift.
• The donor agrees to bear all fees and costs related to delivery of the gift (e.g., recording fees, title work, deed preparation, back taxes, etc.).
• The donor is responsible for all appraisal costs required for his/her tax return.
• If a Phase I Environmental Audit is necessary (due to the potential presence of asbestos, lead paint, radon gas, fuel storage tanks, etc.), the donor agrees to bear that cost.

We also ask that:

• Gifts are made with no restrictions on how the property may be used and/or disposed.
• The property is unencumbered by mortgages, liens, other indebtedness or pending legal actions.

To discuss your real estate donation, contact Fay Morgan at 412-487-6316, option 1.
