There are significant tax advantages to donating appreciated stocks, bonds, and other securities that you have had for at least one year. By law, you are allowed to deduct the full current market value of the investment and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated value.

For more information, please contact our Executive Director, Angel McDonald, at 816-800-0451 or angel@mothersrefuge.org

Many generous corporations and businesses have a matching gift program that will match 100% or a portion of your donation to Mother’s Refuge. Check out this list of Kansas City employers with matching gift programs.. It’s a wonderful way to double your donations!

We would love to help you honor someone on his or her birthday/anniversary or a special holiday. This is a way to make a donation that will help make a positive impact on young mothers and babies lives while honoring a family member, friend, or colleague. We will appropriately acknowledge all gifts with a social letter expressing your support to Mother’s Refuge in their name. Many families have chosen to make donations to Mother’s Refuge instead of exchanging gifts for the holidays.

Choose Mother’s Refuge as the recipient of your donation with the following:

Combined Federal Campaign-#24480, Missouri State Employees Campaign-#3005, United Way

There are a number of ways you can help raise awareness and funds for our programs. Organize a “Blue Jeans Day” at the office, host a bowling tournament, conduct a chili cook-off or spaghetti dinner at your church or club, or collect donations or gifts for our moms and babies. We have many ideas for you!
