Non-Cash Donations

What Are Non-Cash Donations 

Non-cash donations include goods, materials, and products; vehicles and real estate; professional services; and volunteering. If the donation is eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction, you could utilize Missouri AHAP Tax Credits! To learn more about tax credits, please contact our Vice President of Advancement using the contact information in the box to the right! For more information on individual and group volunteering opportunities, please visit our Volunteer page.

• Goods, Materials, & Products: Coming from homelessness and poverty, our clients need many things to rebuild their lives. Most of these items are not available through the food stamp program. Click here for a current client wish list.

  Donations of office products, office supplies, and maintenance supplies/equipment help us stretch our budgets.

• Vehicles & Real Estate: In the past, we have been blessed with donations of vehicles and property that we have used for agency operations or sold for a cash contribution. For more information, please reach out to our Vice President of Advancement using the contact details in the box to the right!

• Professional Services: If you have an expertise to share with clients either individually or in a group, you could volunteer to lead a self-development program. Professionals are also welcomed as volunteers on agency committees.

Why Is This Important?

These donations are central to providing our mission, directly serving our program participants. Most of our government grants focus on affordable housing and rent subsidies. Supportive services are critical to overall client stabilization, but rarely funded through grants. The positive impact of in-kind gifts on both revenue and expenses make them a valuable form of support.
