Making Donating Real Estate Simple
Many people assume donating real estate in Chicago will be a long, complicated, and expensive process. But time after time, donors are surprised by how quick and effortless we make the process of donating real estate, especially when the property has become a financial burden or an inherited responsibility they never wanted.
With our streamlined approach, you can donate your property as‑is. No repairs. No showings. No stress. And the benefits begin immediately: relief from taxes, maintenance, and unwanted carrying costs, along with a meaningful year‑end tax deduction.
For most donors, it’s that instant financial relief—not just the deduction—that inspires them to donate now rather than waiting.
What once felt like a burden becomes an opportunity. Start the no‑cost, no‑obligation donation process today and see just how easy doing good—for charity and for yourself—can be.

How does UrbanRenewalProject.org make donating real estate to charity so easy?
UrbanRenewalProject.org was created as a convenient and simple way to donate a house to a charity that will make a meaningful impact in the lives of the brave men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Visionary Initiative to make a Meaningful Difference.
The Urban Renewal Project Chicago began as a visionary initiative by URB, inc.—a project designed to spotlight the value of donating distressed and abandoned urban real estate in Chicago. Over time, we recognized the deeper purpose behind this mission: facilitating real estate donations to directly support veterans in need. Today, our work continues to transform properties—and lives—through compassion, community renewal, and lasting impact.
We’re proud to volunteer our time and donate our resources to help facilitate property donations on behalf of the charities, and always at no cost to you, the real estate donor. It’s our way of giving back and making a meaningful difference.
The qualified 501(c)(3) organizations that your property donation will help make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans in need are the National Women Veterans United and the United Relief Foundation. Learn More.
