CSS welcomes gifts of appreciated stocks or securities, which can provide you with tax benefits while also supporting our mission. CSS benefits by selling the stock without paying taxes on the gain, while you benefit from making a contribution that would be larger than what you might have been able to donate in cash. To make a donation of stock, simply contact us (417) 624-4515 x180 or email jthomas@cssmo.org for instructions on how to transfer the shares.

Creating a meaningful legacy is an important consideration for many individuals. One way to ensure your legacy endures is by making a gift in your will or living trust, also known as a bequest. You can choose to gift a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are made. By including CSS in your estate planning, you can support our mission and make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals we serve.

"I bequeath the sum of $_______ or Description of Property or _______% to Community Support Services of Missouri, 809 S Illinois Avenue, Joplin, MO 64801, EIN #43-1121898, or its successor thereto, for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose".

Please call us at (417) 624-4515 x180 or email jthomas@cssmo.org for more information on planned giving.

Many employers offer workplace giving programs allowing you to donate directly to CSS from your paycheck. Check with your employer to see if this option is available to you. In addition, check with your employer to see if they offer matching gifts. Your employer could match your donation, effectively doubling the impact of your original donation. Matching gift programs are a great way for individuals to maximize the impact of their donations and for companies to show their support for charitable causes that matter most to their employees.

CSS gratefully accepts donations of materials or personal property that support our mission. All in-kind gifts are reviewed to ensure they meet our organization's needs. CSS does not provide gift valuation. The donor is responsible for determining the value of an accepted gift (per IRS regulations). Please call us at (417) 624-4515 x180 or email jthomas@cssmo.org for more information on planned giving.

A tribute gift is a meaningful way to express sympathy, commemorate a special occasion, honor someone's life and achievements, or memorialize a loved one.

A Charitable IRA Rollover contribution to CSS is a great way to support our mission while also reducing your taxable income. If you're 70 ½ or older and have an IRA, you can donate up to $100,000 per year to CSS without having to count the distribution as taxable income. This means you can make a significant impact on our programs and services while also receiving tax benefits. Consult your plan administrator for more details.
