Donate Land to Charity
Donate land for a tax write-off.
From building lots to large parcels of ranch land, we can help you get rid of property in exchange for a tax deduction. We have assisted people from California to New York with donation needs and can quickly assess the maximum benefit to you by making a donation. Our donors especially appreciate our ability to make a decision quickly. From the initial conversation to the tax-write off, we will be your partner every step of the way.
Land Donation Process
The first step is generally to have a phone consultation to determine if the property donation is a good fit for the charity and for the donor.
Once it appears to be a good fit for the charity and the donor, an appraisal will be ordered if the expected value is over $5,000. Also at this point, deed preparation will also proceed.
Upon the appraisal being completed, the deed and closing materials will be emailed to you. Once you sign the deed in front of a bank notary and mail it back to our legal team, liability and ownership transfers to the charity.
At that point, we can send you the tax write-off documentation if needed. We will also record the deed.

Maximum Tax Benefit
Tax Write-Off of Fair Market Value
Take advantage of current IRS rules allowing the deduction of the 100% of the Fair Market Value of your land donation. In today’s market, your tax savings often greatly outweigh the benefits of continuing to hold onto real estate considering real estate taxes, county and city fines, bad publicity of owning an under-utilized property, real estate agent fees, and time and energy of dealing with the property.
The deduction value can be carried backwards or forwards for other tax years in many cases.
Your donation will go towards changing the lives or orphans around the world.
*If you are seeking a tax deduction of more than $5,000, the property will need to be appraised.

WHO ARE WE?
Book and a Ball is a non-profit organization providing books and balls to orphans around the world. It is donations like yours that allow us to continue to change the lives of kids worldwide.
WHY ORPHANS?
Around the world there are an estimated 153 million orphans who have lost at least one parent. Many great organizations provide clean drinking water, food and medical care to orphans. Our mission is to bring a new dimension to orphan’s lives through the power of education and sports.
WHY BOOKS?
Children raised in orphanages have an I.Q. 36 points lower on average than children growing up with their biological parents. With the proper educational materials and building confidence through sports we can change this. Combining the power of sports and books we can increase an orphan’s intellect exponentially.
WHY BALLS?
The primary focus of most orphanages is to provide the basics of survival for each child; shelter, food and water. Sports equipment is a luxury, and one most facilities are unable to afford. Sports exercise improves health, increases self-esteem and provides the opportunity for a child to be a child.
