REAL ESTATE DONATIONS

Ideastream Public Media
Real Estate Program

Donating real estate to Ideastream is a great way to help our mission in serving the people of Northeast Ohio as a trusted and dynamic multimedia source for illuminating the world around us. Publicly supported and locally owned, Ideastream is indispensable and highly valued for its unique ability to strengthen our community.

About Real Estate Donations

Ideastream partners with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit Ideastream. 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!
