We hope that our friends, partners and supporters continue to be safe and healthy while we all cope with this pandemic.The recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which provides significant financial relief to businesses, hospitals, schools, and individuals, also directly affects nonprofit organizations. Specifically, the stimulus bill contains a one-time, above-the-line deduction for contributions of up to $300 made to qualifying charities. All taxpayers are eligible to take the deduction, even people who use the standard deduction.The incentive applies to charitable contributions made in 2020 and would be claimed on tax forms next year. The new deduction would not apply to non-cash gifts or to gifts contributed to donor advised funds. Also, for the approximately eight percent of individual taxpayers who itemize their deductions, the CARES Act would suspend for 2020 the normal limit on deductions for contributions.For more information, please check the National Council of Nonprofits website at www.councilofnonprofits.org.

This is a concept photo of what the Mid-Missouri Fisher House may look like. Due to the size and shape of the tentative site of our house, some revisions will be necessary to the “standard” design. Construction could begin as early as 2022 and completed by 2023. The Hospital will prepare the construction site, but the Fisher House Foundation will complete the construction. The preliminary cost estimate to construct our facility is $7,000,000.
