To
achieve our goal, we need the help of supporters like you.
Girls Town works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help our
residents overcome the trauma they have suffered and return
to a normal life. Although we receive some
reimbursement from the state of Missouri, we still rely on
our supporters to help improve the quality of life for the
girls here. There are several ways that you can get
involved and help.

Girls
Town is always in need of new or gently used items such as clothing, blankets,
kitchen supplies, bathroom toiletries (such as soap, shampoo, hair care
products, etc.), and much, much more. You can drop them off with us, or arrange
to have someone pick them up if you’d like to donate. Just
Contact us and ask for Sara to arrange
in-kind donations.

Perhaps consider a generous
gift of highly appreciated property. For example, if you donate stocks held for
more than 12 months to Girls Town, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive
an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock when the gift is made.
Stocks, bonds, real estate, vehicles, and many more items are excellent for this
kind of donation.

Remember Girls Town in your estate plans. One of the
easiest ways to help is to make a bequest in your will or living trust to
Missouri Girls Town. Bequests can be made in the form of a specific dollar
amount, a percentage of the overall estate, the residue of the estate after
everything else has been paid, or a portion of the residue. Similarly, you
can give donations in memory of or in honor of a loved one.
Honorariums and memorials are printed in our newsletter

Donations to Missouri
Girls Town and its Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) are now eligible for a
70%
credit against taxes owed to the State of Missouri. This tax credit is in
addition to any normal federal or state tax deductions.
The NAP Tax Credit Program allows a donor to give cash, stocks, bonds, securities
and real property to Missouri Girls Town. In return, the donor gets half of the
value of the donation back in the form of a Missouri State Tax Credit.
