Chai Lifeline, the Jewish community’s leading health and crisis support organization, is excited to announce the launch of its Real Estate Bargain Sale Program, offering property owners a meaningful way to make an impact while receiving substantial financial benefits. This initiative allows individuals to sell real estate to Chai Lifeline at a discounted rate while receiving an income tax deduction for the difference.

Properties with mortgages may also be eligible, making this an attractive option for owners looking to offload assets while still benefiting financially.

Proceeds from real estate bargain sales directly fund Chai Lifeline’s critical programs, including case management, crisis and trauma intervention, respite services, transportation to medical appointments, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, financial assistance, i-Shine afterschool programming for children living with illness and loss, Camp Simcha summer programs for children with serious illness, and more.

By participating in a bargain sale, property owners not only optimize their financial planning but also play a critical role in supporting Chai Lifeline’s mission: providing comprehensive care, emotional support, and practical assistance to children and families facing illness and crisis.

Why Choose a Bargain Sale?

• Maximized Tax Benefits – Receive a charitable income tax deduction based on the difference between fair market value and the discounted sale price.

• Mortgage Flexibility – Properties with existing mortgages may still qualify, allowing owners to benefit even if they carry debt.

• Streamlined Process – Chai Lifeline evaluates each property and manages the transaction, ensuring a smooth experience.

• Life-Changing Impact – Donations help provide essential support to families coping with crisis and serious illness, ensuring no one faces these challenges alone.

“The Bargain Sale Program allows property owners to leverage their real estate for a powerful cause,” said Chai Lifeline CEO Rabbi Simcha Scholar. “It’s a win-win—financially advantageous for donors while making a tangible difference in the lives of families facing illness.”

Attorneys, financial advisors, and real estate professionals are encouraged to share this opportunity with their clients who may be looking for a tax-efficient way to offload properties while making a difference.
