Begin your donation and appraisal process by contacting us via phone at (540) 684-6633 or email at info@thegreenmissioninc.com. Potential donations can include kitchen remodels, tear-downs, or specific items like cabinetry, appliances, bricks, lumber, or furnishings. Define your project scope with TGMI to start the process, as non-monetary charitable contributions may be deductible on your tax return.
We will email you an estimated Fair Market Value range, a list of potential donation materials, and the selected nonprofit or government entity. Our initial quote is based on comparable sales data, and we usually deliver it within 24-48 business hours post-inspection. The appraisal fee, based on time and research required, is included in the contract. For donations valued at $5,000 or more, a “Qualified Appraisal” by a “Qualified Appraiser” is necessary to secure tax benefits, as mandated by the IRS.

Clients often have a preferred charity, but if needed, we can provide a list of IRS-qualified donee options. Each charity’s capability to handle donations varies, so careful selection is advised. While we maintain strong relationships with various organizations, ethical standards prevent us from choosing a donee for you.
We coordinate a deconstruction timeline and pickup date with the selected nonprofit or government entity. Our detailed appraisal research begins once we receive all required information from the donor, ensuring the appraisal reflects only the accepted donations. Adjustments may be made if certain materials are not ultimately donated
Appraisals are typically delivered via email 4-8 weeks after receiving all documentation from the donee. The timeline varies based on project size and scope. The completed 8283 Tax Form, signed by both the appraiser and donee, will be sent to you. Throughout the process, we remain responsive to inquiries and provide support, ensuring a smooth and impactful donation experience. Your contributions aid local communities and help reduce landfill waste, promoting environmental sustainability for future generations.
