All gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible. Thank you on behalf of the many Missourians who benefit from MDA Foundation programs.
You may give to the MDAF with a Memorial Contribution (to remember colleagues, friends or loved ones) or an In Honor Gift (to recognize a birthday, anniversary or special accomplishment). The MDAF will send an acknowledgement for the gift. Contact Paul Roberts for more information on this type of donation.
Dental Hygiene Supplies
The MDAF has a limited annual supply of free brush, paste and floss to help those doing oral health outreach to schools and communities. Click here for guidelines and an order form.
Endowment
In 2012, the Foundation began an endowment fund as a source of income to enhance the impact of the projects supported by the Foundation. The fund also serves as a resource to MDA members who wish to make specially designated gifts to the Foundation. Click here to read a brief description of the fund. Like all endowments, the principle is to remain intact in perpetuity. If you or your attorney or accountant wish to review the policies governing the setup of the MDAF Endowment or the spending policies for the endowment, please contact Cindy DuCoulombier.
