Mission of Mercy : Donate

Because Mission of Mercy provides free medical care and does not receive government funding, we will always depend on volunteerism and community contributions to fulfill our goal of providing free healthcare in a supportive and encouraging environment. With no charge for treatment and prescription drugs, there is no added strain on family budgets by having to pay for quality care. For these patients, the care they receive at Mission of Mercy brings hope for the future.

Gifts of long-term appreciated stock or mutual funds offer a quick, easy and tax-efficient way to make a lasting contribution to Mission of Mercy and may bring about significant benefits to you as a contributor, such as:

For example, suppose the shares you bought in HELP Corp. for $500 now have a market value of $6,000. If you donate them to Mission of Mercy, you not only can offset the $6,000 donation against income, you will also avoid the tax on the $5,500 capital gain. (That is why it is better to transfer the stock to Mission of Mercy rather than selling it and giving Mission of Mercy the money).

If your broker or bank holds your securities, your gift can be electronically transferred. The following information will enable your broker to transfer your gift of stock to Mission of Mercy.

Matching Gifts

A corporate matching gift is a great way for Mission of Mercy’s contributors to maximize personal donations to the organization and increase the impact of their gift. Hundreds of corporations match the charitable contributions made by their employees, directors, employees’ spouses, or retirees. You may double or even triple your campaign gift by checking with your company’s Human Resources Office to see if they participate in a matching gift program. For example, if you donate $100 to Mission of Mercy and your company offers a matching program at 2:1, your gift is now worth $200. Some companies will even match 3:1 or higher.

Double or triple your gift to Mission of Mercy by completing these simple steps:

Workplace giving campaigns (also called employee charitable fund drives) are solicitation programs conducted at places of employment. Gifts are made in the form of pledges via automatic payroll deductions, where a person can make a one-time donation or have a set amount deducted from their paycheck throughout the course of a year. Most campaigns are conducted in the fall, between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Be sure to look for Mission of Mercy in your company's brochure. If we are not listed, look for a special “Donor Option” on the pledge card that allows you to “write in” or designate Mission of Mercy to receive your gift.

Since Mission of Mercy does not receive government funding, we rely solely on private contributions. Mission of Mercy would not be successful without the financial support garnered through workplace giving campaigns. Please find below a list and description of the different types of workplace giving campaigns and the designation codes for Mission of Mercy. As you make your designations through the various combined charity campaigns, please keep us in mind. In addition, encourage your friends and family members to make their donations count by designating Mission of Mercy.

Each year federal employees (and retirees) have the opportunity to designate a portion of their earnings to support charities. If you receive a paycheck from the federal government you can designate Mission of Mercy to receive your support.

Numerous state and local governments provide workplace-giving programs that allow employees (and often retirees) to give to charities through payroll deductions.

Many companies participate in workplace giving campaigns through the United Way.

Does your employer participate in a workplace giving campaign like the United Way, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), or a State and Local employee campaign? If so, you can help Mission of Mercy tell its story by arranging to have us come speak at your organization’s campaign kick-off. Each year, with the support of friends like you, representatives from Mission of Mercy make presentations throughout the areas where we operate. This is a great way for you to help us get our story out and to gain financial support for Mission of Mercy. If you would be interested in helping Mission of Mercy schedule a time to come speak to your group, please contact Karen Mclain, Director of Development at (301) 788-2163.

Making a memorial gift to Mission of Mercy is a thoughtful way to honor the memory of someone dear to you and at the same time help Mission of Mercy serve the uninsured working poor, homeless and economically disadvantaged.

You may add a personalized message to the card. You will receive a letter confirming that your donation has been received and that a gift card has been sent.
