Pennies from Heaven




It's a happy day in the Development Department - we received an additional allocation of $20,000 in tax credits, which will leverage $40,000 in gifts! Yippee!!!

As you may know, ThriVe participates in two Missouri State Tax Credit programs through which the State of Missouri allows individuals and businesses to claim a state income tax credit equal to fifty percent of their donations to our organization.

And you may also be aware that there are a limited number of tax credits available, with allocation dictated by the State of Missouri annual budget. We market these credits aggressively as a tool to attract new donors and to encourage existing donors to increase the amount of their gifts.

Since this is the season when taxes are on all our minds, please keep tax credits in mind, too. If you or someone you know may benefit from a state tax credit, we can help. Give me a call at 314-783-3040 ext 225, or check out the additional information is available on our website, if you would like to know more. Just cut and paste the following link into your browser -
