What is Charitable Donation?

A non-cash charitable donation is a voluntary transfer of property or assets to a qualified nonprofit organization without receiving equal value in return. Donations can include artwork, jewelry, vehicles, business interests, equipment, collectibles, and other tangible or intangible property. When a donor intends to claim a tax deduction, the contribution must meet IRS rules regarding documentation, timing, and substantiation. For non-cash gifts above certain thresholds, the IRS requires support for how the value was determined. That is where an independent, third-party opinion of value often becomes necessary to properly report the contribution.

What is a Charitable Donation appraisal?

A charitable donation appraisal is an independent determination of the fair market value of property being contributed to a qualified charity for tax reporting purposes. The valuation is used to substantiate the deduction claimed on the donor’s tax return and may be reviewed by the IRS. When required, the appraiser provides the documentation and signature necessary to complete IRS Form 8283 for non-cash charitable contributions.

These assignments typically follow professional standards such as USPAP and include analysis of market data, comparable sales, and asset-specific factors like condition, provenance, or economic outlook. The report helps demonstrate that the claimed value is reasonable, well supported, and prepared by a qualified appraiser.

About AppraiseItNow's Charitable Donation Appraisal Services

Art valued over $20,000 or total donated property exceeding $500,000 requires the full appraisal attached to the return. Appraisals must be completed no earlier than 60 days before the donation date and no later than the tax return due date.
