ways to give to boise rescue mission ministries

Boise Rescue Mission Ministries invites you to partner with us to serve our homeless and hungry neighbors. They are men, women, and children across the Treasure Valley. Are you looking to fill a specific need at the Mission, this is where to donate? Are you simply interested in donating to a non-profit in the Boise and Nampa area? We welcome donations of all kinds.

where & how to donate money

You may donate any amount you choose. Here are some specific amounts and how they help:

• Provide food, shelter, clothing, and case management to 20 people = $1,038.40
• Provide food, shelter, clothing, and case management to 7 people = $363.44
• Provide food, shelter, clothing, and case management to 4 people = $207.68
• Provide food, shelter, clothing, and case management to 2 people = $103.84
• Provide food, shelter, clothing, and case management to 1 person = $51.92

(Every day we serve nearly 1,000 meals and provide safe overnight shelter to hundreds from our community!) Your donation goes toward more than just a bed for our homeless neighbors to sleep in, and a warm meal for them to eat, but also includes case management, job search help, a clean shower, clothing, and the priceless potential of finding new life through an encounter with Christ.

Wondering where to donate? All donations to us can be directed toward general funds or a specific facility or ministry.

Donate Stock

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Did you know that a direct transfer of appreciated stock is a good way to make a gift to the Mission? There are very favorable tax rules for donors who want to donate long-term stock that has appreciated. You avoid paying capital gains taxes on the stock. You may also be able to take a charitable deduction for its present market value. Please see IRS Publication 526 for more tax information on Charitable Contributions. You can also speak with your broker about gifts of appreciated assets.

Giving Property That Has Depreciated in Value

Do you have stock or other property that has decreased in value? You will normally save more in taxes by selling it and giving the sale proceeds to the Mission. Then you may be able to claim a capital loss on your tax return. You can also deduct the cash proceeds you give as a charitable gift. This can result in tax deductions that amount to more than the current value of the asset. Tax deduction for gifts of depreciated property will be based on the current value. It is not based on what you originally paid for it.
