Donate a Home

Give a House New Roots.

Roots & Haven is looking for our very first home — a vacant, distressed, or below-market property in Indianapolis that's ready for a second chance. If you own one, or know someone who does, this is where it starts.

The Benefits of Donating Your Property.

Donating a home isn't just generous. For many owners, it's also the simplest and most financially sound way to let go of a property you no longer want to manage.

Why Donate

Potential Tax Savings

Deduct the property's fair market value and avoid capital gains tax on appreciated property held over a year. Unused deductions carry forward up to five years.

No Repairs, No Realtor,

No Hassle

Skip the cost and stress of listing a distressed property — no repairs, no commissions, no months of showings.

A Simple Path for Inherited Property

Avoid the burden of probate logistics and upkeep on a property you've inherited and don't want to manage or sell yourself.

Give in Someone's Name

Many donors choose to give in memory or honor of a loved one — we're glad to formally recognize your gift that way.

Every donor's situation is different. We always recommend confirming your specific deduction with your own tax advisor or CPA before finalizing a gift.
