How does UrbanRenewalProject.org make donating real estate to charity so easy?
Behind every real estate donation is a devoted team of charitable professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to ensure a smooth, rewarding experience for you—the donor—and a seamless transaction for the recipients of your thoughtful generosity.
Donating real estate to charity in Chicago to these two veteran support organizations is a powerful act of trust—one they’ve placed in us to steward the process with transparency and purpose.
Our stewardship includes treating you—the donor—with respect, regardless of the property’s condition or circumstances, whether inherited, vacant, in disrepair, facing code violations, or burdened by back taxes.
The trust placed in us, the respect we extend to you, and our deep expertise in facilitating property donations all come together to how we are able to make donating real estate to charity so easy and meaningful.
Let us know about the property you’re considering for donation, and walk you through the donation process and answer any questions.
We review the property you’d like to donate, consult with the intended charities, and initiate the necessary donation paperwork.
We handle the entire donation transfer process and manage all paperwork—at no cost to you or the charitable organizations.
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.
