Tax Credit Program

The State of Missouri offers a Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit to encourage donations to domestic violence shelters. Simply send your contribution to Lafayette House, and we will mail you a tax credit application form – a brief, one-page form that verifies your contribution. Return the application to us, and within six weeks, you should receive a tax credit certificate from the Missouri Department of Social Services.

Who is Eligible

Any entity with a Missouri tax liability, including individuals, corporations, partnerships, etc.

Eligible Donations Include cash, stocks, bonds, marketable securities, land, and buildings.

ReAD about the special Domestic violence shelter tax credit

Any gift of $100 or more qualifies for a 70% Missouri Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit! For instance, donate $500 and your net out-of-pocket for the donation could be only $86 – $106.* That is one more big reason to donate this year!

Have you made a qualifying gift of $100 or more this year? Thank you!

Here are your next steps:

1. Fill out the first page of the 2024 DV Tax Credit Form (below) and hand-sign it.

2. Mail the original hand-signed application by January 26, 2025 to the following address:

1809 S. Connor Ave., Joplin, MO 64804

Please email chelseaconley@lafayettehouse.org to let us know that you mailed it and we can watch for it.

Once the application is received here, we will sign it and send it off to the government. All applications need to be in the hands of the government by February 2, 2025 to guarantee your letter will arrive to you before the tax deadline. That is why it is very important to mail your application to us by January 26, 2025.

Note: We encourage all potential donors to consult their tax advisor for more detailed information.

Questions? Email Chelsea Conley at chelseaconley@lafayettehouse.org.

Thank you for supporting survivors of domestic violence in Missouri!
