More information regarding tax credits for donations to Lily's House

DON'T FORGET, AS YOU ARE CONSIDERING YOUR END OF YEAR CHARITABLE GIVING, LILYS HOUSE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR MISSOUR MATERNITY HOME TAX CREDITS AGAIN!!! Any contributions from July 1st, 2025 through December 31st, 2025 are eligible for the 2025 tax year and any from January 1st 2026 through June 30th 2026 will go towards the 2026 tax year.

Missouri Maternity Home Tax Credits

All gifts to Lily's House of $100 or more qualify for a 70% Missouri State Tax Credit.

A maximum of $50,000 per year!

How the Missouri Tax Credit Works:

-Donate $100 or more to Lily's House

-Request a Tax Credit Application from Lily's House

-Return the completed form to Lily's House

-Lily's House will process and submit the application to the State on your behalf

-The State will send you paperwork to keep for your taxes

Why do you want a tax credit?

A tax credit is not the same as a deduction. Deductions reduce your taxable income while tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe. In fact, 70% of your eligible donation to Lily's House qualify for a tax credit for your business or individual Missouri tax return.

Example: Donation of $100 to Lily's House = $70 tax credit on your State(Missouri) taxes for that year and can claim the full $100 donation on Federal taxes!
