The MO Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and Tax Benefits
What is the Missouri NAP?
The MO Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) is a state initiative that supports nonprofit organizations in their efforts to strengthen and revitalize communities. By making a donation to our FosterAdopt Connect, you can receive tax credits of up to 50% of your contribution, allowing you to reduce your state tax liability while directly contributing to the betterment of our community.
It’s a win-win situation that empowers you to make a substantial difference without straining your finances.
How Will My NAP Donation Be Used?
Children entering foster care often arrive in traumatic situations. Your donation through the MO Neighborhood Assistance Program helps give them a safe haven at Hope Children's Home. Beyond shelter, your gift funds innovative programs and services that directly benefit foster families and at-risk children in our community. These include evidence-based caregiving strategies and connections to a broad peer network for individualized support and advocacy.
