It's December, which means end-of-year giving season is upon us. At Made in the Streets, it's no secret that we depend heavily on end-of-year giving to make our goals and balance our budget. 

​Turn your giving into a gift
What if you could give the perfect last-minute gift and make a difference for the world’s most vulnerable children?  Give a gift of hope in honor of your friends or family!  Your loved one will be thrilled to know that their impact on you prompted you to be generous toward street children in Kenya. 

Help yourself out this tax season
Whether it’s due to your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your Retirement Accounts or Capital Gains taxes on appreciated stock or simply to reduce your current Federal Income Tax liability, gifts given to MITS by December 31 make a positive impact on next year’s income tax filings.
Give now to receive credit for your charitable donations in 2018 and help reduce your taxes in 2019 >>
