Donate Your Home (or a Portion of It)
Turn Property Into Purpose.
Your home—whether donated in full or in part—can help unlock the dream of ownership for a family that’s been priced out of the market. By gifting real estate, you’ll receive significant tax benefits while transforming lives and communities.
Trippin Bike Co. — Corporate Sponsor Spotlight
Trippin Bike Company has partnered with First Key Fund to support affordable homeownership by offering premium electric bikes as a thank-you for qualifying donations.
Protect Your Home. Reduce Your Tax Burden. And Get a Tax Deduction.
Through our partnership with Data BI Design, First Key Funding offers Property Monitor — powerful software that helps safeguard your home from deed fraud and works to reduce your property tax burden.
With your donation, you’ll receive access to Property Monitor — and because it’s a charitable contribution to a registered 501(c)(3), your donation is tax-deductible.
This tool provides real-time alerts for suspicious deed activity and analyzes your property’s tax data to uncover opportunities for tax relief — helping you save money and protect what matters most.
Security, savings, and a tax deduction — all in one.
