Veterans United

November 23, 2020 - Today we received a gift of $1,000,000 from the employees of Veterans United located here in Columbia Missouri. This very generous gift will move us closer to our local goal of $3,000,000 that will be used to build our "own" Fisher House on the campus of the Truman Veterans Medical Center.

Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation

We are honored to have recently received a very generous grant from the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation for the construction of “our” Mid-Missouri Fisher House which will be located on the campus of the Truman VA Medical Center.
A. P. Green was a successful manufacturer who brought jobs and economic growth to Missouri. His fire brick business based in Mexico Missouri became a multimillion-dollar firm with branches all over the world. His refractory products contributed significantly to the largest period of industrial growth in United States history. They also played an essential role in the winning of two world wars and the massive rebuilding projects that took place afterward. Established in 1941, the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation largely funded medical research particularly research toward treating and curing Parkinson’s design which his wife Josephine suffered. Since his death in 1956, the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation has provided funds for education, food and nutrition, healthcare and human service. Thank you very much!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2020 DONORS TO GIVE $20 EACH THIS YEAR!

Connecting two thousand and twenty donors with the Mid-Missouri Fisher House capital fund campaign and mission is no small task. Here’s how it works:

Each Mid-Missouri Fisher House friend/supporter donates $20 this year.
Those donors then ask 20 other people (friends, family, etc.) to donate $20 in 2020 and to ask another 20 people to donate $20 in 2020.
Donors can use our Facebook page donate button or send us a check at the address below.

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 noncash 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.
