HONOR VETERANS, RESTORE LIVES

At Welcome Home, we provide shelter, support, and resources to veterans experiencing homelessness—offering hope and a path toward stability. Your generosity fuels our mission and transforms lives. Whether you choose to give a one-time gift, become a monthly donor, contribute through your IRA, or explore other giving options, every donation makes a direct impact. There are many ways to support our work, and each one helps us honor those who served by ensuring they have a safe place to call home.

Gift Stocks or Securities

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a powerful and tax-efficient way to support Welcome Home’s mission. This type of gift may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction, all while providing essential shelter, meals, and support to veterans in need. It’s a smart way to give that can make a lasting impact.

Estate Gifts

Leaving a gift in your will or estate plan is a meaningful way to support veterans for generations to come. By including Welcome Home, you ensure your values live on—providing housing, care, and opportunity to those who served. Estate gifts can offer tax benefits and peace of mind while making a lasting impact on the lives of Mid-Missouri veterans.

Employer Matching Gifts

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double—or even triple—your donation to Welcome Home at no extra cost to you. It’s an easy way to make your generosity go even further, supporting critical services for veterans in need. Check with your employer to see if your gift qualifies.

Gift Real Estate or Tangible Property

Donating real estate or other valuable assets is a powerful way to support veterans while potentially receiving significant tax benefits. From homes and land to vehicles and collectibles, your gift can directly fund emergency shelter, job training, and life-changing services for those who served. It’s a lasting way to make a meaningful impact.

Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

If you’re 73 or older, you can use your required minimum distribution (RMD) to make a meaningful, tax-smart gift to Welcome Home. By donating directly from your IRA, you may reduce your taxable income while supporting critical services for veterans in need. It’s a simple way to turn your retirement savings into life-changing impact.
