How You Can Help National Foundation for Cancer Research
NFCR has partnered with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit NFCR. Our program takes any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity. Even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance, or deferred maintenance, it's no problem. We will pay off all loans, liens, commissions owed and pay all closing costs. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, donating it is a great way to give back and you may even claim a significant tax deduction!
