A Powerful Way to Support Jasper County CASA—and Reduce Your Missouri Taxes

The Champion for Children (CFC) Tax Credit allows you to make a transformative gift to Jasper County CASA at a significantly reduced net cost to you. Your generosity directly helps children in foster care receive the advocacy, stability, and hope they deserve.

How the Credit Works

  • Jasper County CASA is an approved agency under Missouri CFC.
  • You receive up to a 70% Missouri State Income Tax Credit on your donation.
  • Minimum donation to qualify: $72
  • Maximum credit per taxpayer per year: $50,000
     (minimum credit is $50)
  • Any unused credit may be carried forward for up to 4 additional years.
  • Credits apply to individuals, couples, LLCs, S-corps, corporations,
    and partnerships.

Why It Matters

Your CFC-eligible gift helps Jasper County CASA:

  • Recruit and train more volunteers
  • Serve more children who are waiting
  • Strengthen advocacy for children facing abuse, neglect, and
    instability
  • Ensure more kids find safe, permanent homes sooner

This is one of the most impactful ways to support children in foster care while receiving a significant tax benefit.
