client received a grant and purchased equipment.  he then S179 that property.  next year (over 1 year) he wants to donate that property with sizable FMV to a charitable organization.  since his basis is 0 does he get any donation deduction?

 the tax rules limit the amount of your charitable deduction to the asset's FMV minus the amount of ordinary income that would result in this hypothetical sale.

Also, does donating/disposing it violate the terms of the grant?
