Presbyterian Children's Services and Children's Foundation of Mid-America announce their merger - approved by their Boards of Directors. The new agency will be known as Children's Foundation of Mid-America, Inc.
This merger will strengthen the agency's ability to raise funds, and will simplify program operation while it preserves the agency's legacy with the Presbyterian Church (USA) in the Synod of Mid-America. All related programs will continue to operate by their familiar names within their service regions.
Each regional progam will operate as a program of Children's Foundation of Mid-America, Inc.; and, will retain and promote existing relationships with donors and churches to improve the conditions for vulnerable children and families in mid-America.

Paid too much to Missouri this year?
50% TAX CREDITS can save you money - Take advantage NOW while April 15 is fresh on your mind.
The Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) has awarded $250,000 in NAP tax credits to Children's Foundation of Mid-America. NAP tax credits provide a 50% credit against state income tax liabilities for businesses who contribute toward helping vulnerable children. Donations received as part of this NAP project will be directed to the acquisition and renovation of a 9,500-squarefoot facility in Springfield, enabling Presbyterian Children’s Services and Children's Foundation of Mid-America to increase the number of children and families receiving services.
“Investment in our children is an investment in the future of our state,” DED Interim Director Katie Steele Danner said. “This award helps us partner with this service organization in their outreach efforts to aid abused and neglected youth in the Springfield region.”
Businesses can donate cash, materials, supplies or equipment; technical assistance and professional services; labor; real estate; or stocks and bonds. [read more]
Want your donation to support a specific CFMA program?
Youth Opportunity Program (YOP) 50% credits are available for your support across the State - or for any specific regional program that you prefer. Just like NAP tax credits, YOP tax credits can be redeemed in the same way -- contact Angie Brown [toll-free 800 383-8147] for answers to your questions - and to tell Angie just how to apply your contribution to help children. We'll help you designate your support for your favorite local progam in Farmington, Columbia, Moberly, Springfield, Joplin, Kansas City, Whiteside, Hannibal, or St. Louis.
In addition, Residential Credit Tax Credits are available for larger contributions - $25,000 up to $250,000. These specialized credits offer the same 50% Missouri Income Tax credit for corporations and family businesses; but are designed to offset large tax liabilities that may arise from sale of property or capital gains. Contact Angie Brown to learn more.
