Missouri Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credits

Domestic Violence Shelter’s tax credits allow qualified donors to maximize the impact of a donation to support Preferred Family Healthcare’s domestic violence shelters.

Qualified donors who make a monetary donation of $500 or more toward Preferred Family Healthcare’s domestic violence shelters are eligible to apply for the tax credits. These are considered 70% tax credits, meaning you could receive 70% of your donation back during tax time if you receive the credit. Preferred Family Healthcare’s domestic violence shelters would keep the full original donation.
