70% Missouri DVS 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!  Basically, you can choose where your tax dollars go in the State of Missouri by taking advantage of the Domestic Violence Shelter tax credit.
​This tax credit directly reduces the amount of an eligible donor’s income tax by 70% of the amount donated to Newhouse while still making a charitable donation deduction for the full amount (see attachment). In effect, when you file your tax return, the government will have paid you back 75-85% of your donation (sometimes more). This tax credit is only offered to Missouri Domestic Violence shelters which is why it is lesser known.​
​
*Range depends on your tax bracket. 

Thank you for your support!

Imagine a Day Gala: Saturday, November 8

Your gift to the 2025 Newhouse Gala directly supports survivors of domestic violence and the comprehensive, trauma-informed care that Newhouse provides every single day. As Kansas City’s oldest domestic violence shelter, Newhouse is more than a safe place—it’s a hub of healing, advocacy, and empowerment. Every dollar raised through the Gala helps break the cycle of abuse and fuels the holistic services survivors and their families need to rebuild their lives.

Your donation helps fund:

  • Emergency shelter and long-term housing
  • Therapy for all ages and individualized case management
  • Legal advocacy and substance recovery support
  • Early Learning Center for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years
  • Children’s Center for Education and Healing for grades K–12
  • Job readiness programs and transportation assistance
  • Nutritious meals and daily necessities

To attend the Gala on November 8th at the Loews Kansas City Hotel, you can purchase a table or individual tickets and learn more about the evening by visiting the Event Page.

If you’re interested in donating an item to the silent or live auction, or learning more about serving as an Honorary Chair, please reach out to Julie at julie@newhousekc.org. Donations over $100 are eligible for the Missouri Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit. See more information below.

Thank you for helping us create a Kansas City where every survivor is safe, supported, and empowered to thrive.
