Donate

 

 

Newhouse strictly adheres to the Donor Bill of Rights and will always protect our donor's private information.

 

Monthly Pledge

Donating to Newhouse can be as simple as designating one amount to come from your checking, savings, or money market or we can charge your credit card (VISA, MasterCard & American Express) once a month. It takes a one time effort on your part and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that every month you help another woman and her children find a life free from violence.

Newhouse is an approved 501(c)3 not-for-profit Missouri corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which establishes policy.

 

Cell Phone Collection

How many old cell phones do you have in your junk drawer? Let Newhouse staff take those old phones off your hands. Newhouse works with Shelter Alliance to recycle cell phones you no longer need or want. Some phones are then refurbished and reprogrammed with 911 for domestic violence victims, others are sold for parts.

Newhouse receives $.50 to $35 for each phone collected. Your donation really helps! To date, Newhouse has raised more than $25,000 in cell phone donations.

If you'd like to donate your cell phone or place a cell phone collection box at your office, church or facility, please call 816-474-6446, ext. 231.

Planned Giving

As friends and supporters of Newhouse, your charitable Planned Gift (estate gift) has the following benefits:

  • Maximizing your estate tax benefits and decreasing your liabilities;
  • Support the financial future of the shelter;
  • Create a lasting legacy of support during your lifetime and after you are gone; and
  • Provide income to you from your gifts while you are living.

Planned Giving often requires the assistance of trained professionals in law, financial planning, insurance and banking. If you do not currently have a trained professional, Newhouse maintains a network of professionals who can offer you assistance.
