How You Can Help
Your support will help Children’s Foundation of Mid-America continue to maintain the quality and effective services that are crucial in producing successful results for Missouri’s children and families. There are two ways you can contribute to the success of Children’s Foundation of Mid-America’s mission: contributing financially and volunteering.
Contributions
Make a cash gift. If you give cash to Children’s Foundation of Mid-America, you could qualify for significant savings on your taxes for the 2006 tax year.
Make a gift of appreciated stock. By giving appreciated stock directly to Children’s Foundation of Mid-America, you may avoid hefty capital gains taxes and also receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. Gifts of appreciated stock generally offer a greater tax benefit than cash. It is important to check with your attorney or financial advisor in any gift planning to make sure that you are choosing the best way to achieve your personal and charitable goals.
Include Children’s Foundation of Mid-America in your will. By including Children’s Foundation of Mid-America in your will, you ensure that your support of the Children’s Foundation of Mid-America’s mission continues in perpetuity. Such a contribution also helps to ensure that Children’s Foundation of Mid-America’s services continue to reach those most in need for years to come. A bequest in a will or other estate plan can be made for a specific dollar amount, a percentage, or the remainder of an estate.
*Please explore your company’s gift matching policy. Many companies will match employee contributions to an organization. You may be able to double or triple your gift by getting information about your company’s matching gift program and filling out a short form.
