MCIHN donors are a diverse group of people who share something in common. They want to help families become self-sufficient by providing affordable housing, skill development and family support services. Whether they give a little or a lot, they are a vital part of the efforts of the Interfaith Hospitality Network.

Besides the vital ingredient of volunteer time, donors can help in several ways including donation of cash, assets, vehicles, goods, and services.

 Funding and assets

If you are interested in becoming a financial donor, below are some options:

Make a contribution by writing a check

Establish a monthly or quarterly pledge of any size

Donate appreciated stock or real property (tax deductible)

Many companies have a matching donation program for qualified organizations.. Donate to MCIHN through your company and your company may increase the value of your donation by 50% to 100%.

Write MCIHN into your will, or make a planned bequest

Designate MCIHN as a beneficiary of an insurance policy

 Honor a special person by giving a gift in their name. (great for celebrating birthdays, Christmas, weddings, or other special occasions!)

MCIHN is a designated 501(c)(3) organization; donations are deductible on personal and corporate income tax.

 Goods and services

MCIHN has a continuing need for certain goods and services, including

 Paper products
 Cleaning supplies
 Towels
 Laundry supplies
 Office / school supplies
 Feminine hygiene products

 Vehicles

Many guests that come to MCIHN have no vehicles or have vehicles that are in very poor condition. Often the condition is such that the cost of making the vehicle roadworthy greatly exceeds the value of the vehicle.

MCIHN is always in need of donated cars. More that ten vehicles have already been donated in the two years since the inception of MCIHN.

Donated vehicles are inspected and fixed as needed by a group of volunteers with expertise in this area.

If you are considering trading in your vehicle, or if you find yourself with a spare unused vehicle, please consider donating it to MCIHN. A reliable vehicle can make the difference between employment and unemployment, between self-sufficiency and dependency on social services.

Donation of a vehicle qualifies as a tax deduction. The donor will receive a receipt with which to claim the fair market value of the vehicle.

For questions or more information on how you can make a difference with a vehicle donation, please contact the MCIHN director, Dr. Mishler: (936) 441-8778 or director@mcihn.org .
