Real Estate Donation

We Make Donating Your Property Easy.

Your Real Estate Donation Will Provide Critical Support for Our Community

Have property you’re no longer using or ready to part with? Donating it to Jewish Family Service of San Diego can create real change for San Diegans who are struggling.

JFS is a home for people in search of better lives and for those seeking to make better lives possible. Many people first turn to JFS with a specific need, like hunger. That first contact often leads to a wide range of integrated services that address critical needs and help them move forward.

Whether it’s vacant land, a rental property, or a commercial building, your real estate donation will support programs that deliver vital nutrition assistance, transportation services, safe parking for people experiencing homelessness, and to many more supportive services across San Diego County.

Donating real estate is easy, impactful, and can also provide significant tax benefits.
