How the CARES Act Impacts Giving to MITS in 2020

12/14/2020

0 Comments

 
​On Friday, March 27, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a $2 trillion economic stimulus package legislated to provide immediate relief for families, businesses, and nonprofits.

High Level Information

​New Deduction Available: Up to $300 in annual charitable contributions. This is available only to people who take the standard deduction (for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions). It is an “above the line” adjustment to income that will reduce a donor’s adjusted gross income (AGI), and thereby reduce taxable income. A donation to a donor advised fund (DAF) does not qualify for this new deduction. 

New Charitable Deduction Limits: As part of the bill, individuals and corporations that itemize can deduct much greater amounts of their contributions. Individuals can elect to deduct donations up to 100% of their 2020 AGI (up from 60% previously). Corporations may deduct up to 25% of taxable income, up from the previous limit of 10%. The new deduction is for gifts that go to a public charity, such as MADE IN THE STREETS. 
​
Required Minimum Distributions Waived in 2020 for Most Donors: Required minimum distributions (RMD) that would have had to start in 2020 do not have to start until 2021, including distributions from defined benefit pension plans and 457 plans. This change could de-incentive someone from making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from their IRA in 2020. However, making a QCD this year to MITS is a great way for itemizers and non-itemizers alike to direct up to $100,000 from their IRA to MITS in a tax efficient manner.

Details About the CARES Act

​The inclusion of an expanded charitable giving incentive is a critical acknowledgement by Congress that the work of nonprofits like MADE IN THE STREETS is essential and important. Indeed, now more than ever street children in Kenya (and all over the World) are facing food shortages; a severe lack of medical attention; and continued fears about COVID-19.  They need your love and care more than ever. It is also the first time in history that Congress has passed this type of giving incentive in response to a disaster or national emergency. 

Here’s How it Works

New Deduction Available: The bill makes a new deduction available for up to $300 in annual charitable contributions. This is particularly beneficial to people who take the standard deduction when filing their taxes (in other words for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions). It is calculated by subtracting the amount of the donation from your gross income. It is an “above the line” adjustment to income that will reduce your AGI, and thereby reduce taxable income.
To qualify, you would have to give a donation to a qualified charity, like MITS, before December 31. If you have already made your donation in 2020, that contribution counts toward the $300 cap. A donation to a donor-advised fund (DAF) does not qualify for this new deduction.

New Charitable Deduction Limits: Also included in the bill, individuals and corporations that itemize can deduct much greater amounts of their contributions.
Individuals can elect to deduct cash contributions, up to 100% of their 2020 adjusted gross income, on itemized 2020 tax returns. This is up from the previous limit of 60%. 
Corporations may deduct up to 25% of taxable income, up from the previous limit of 10%.
The new deduction is only for cash gifts that go to a public charity. If you give cash to, say, your private foundation, the old deduction rules apply. And while the organizations that manage DAF’s are public charities, you do not get the higher deduction for donating cash to your DAF. These new limits do not apply to gifts of appreciated stock. You can safely and easily make a cash donation to MADE IN THE STREETS through the MITS online donation portal.
If your assets are substantial enough that you can give more than your income this year, you won’t lose the deduction for the excess amount. You can use it next year, as has always been the case.
​
Required minimum distributions waived in 2020 for most donors: RMD for individuals over age 70½ are suspended until 2021. This includes distributions from defined benefit pension plans and 457 plans. The RMD is an attractive way for donors to make a significant charitable gift directly from their IRA to a charity through a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) while avoiding taxable income. Though not required in 2020, the tax benefit of the QCD still remains.  All taxpayers, itemizers and non-itemizers alike, can still direct gifts from their IRA to charities in a tax efficient manner. 
For more information or to discuss the great tax deductions available to donors in 2020, please contact MITS Executive Director, Brad Voss, at brad@madeinthestreets.org.

What is #GivingTuesday??

Celebrated globally on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday kicks off the season of end-of-year giving. People all over the world come together online to give to others.

This year by December 1st, MADE IN THE STREETS is hoping to raise $27,200!

Why $27,200? 
$1600 covers all the costs associated with moving a child from the streets to MITS boarding school program. We are trying to bring 17 new students off the streets and into school!

What is this "Never Give Up" thing?
The students at MITS have taught us what it looks like to never give up. We want to join them and share a message of hope to those still on the streets - never, never, never, never give up!

We need your help! Will you join us??

Give a Meal. Offer Hope.

Street Eats is a program to provide meals for street kids and street moms at the MITS Centre in Eastleigh, a neighborhood in Nairobi.

For many students and former street kids at MITS, receiving a meal is often the introduction in their story of transformation.

What Can Your $5 Do?

Your $5 covers the cost of one nutrient-rich meal. For the price of a latte, you can provide a full day's worth of calories to one living on the streets. $5 goes a long way!

MITS KENYA UPDATE: 9/4/20

9/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Here’s an update on the current situation in Kenya:  (NEW UPDATES IN ORANGE)
  • As of today (Sep 3), 34,493 cases have been confirmed in the country of Kenya, there have been 581 confirmed deaths from the virus.  Total recoveries are 251.  The majority of active cases are in Nairobi and Mombasa.  The government is taking serious action and putting in steps to control the spread of COVID-19.  
  • The cessation of movement order that barred entry into and out of Nairobi, Mombasa and Mandera counties lapsed on July 7th.
  • On August 26 the GoK announced that the prohibition against social and political gatherings over 15 people is extended for an additional 30 days.
  • There is a current cessation of movement in and out of the Eastleigh neighborhood in Nairobi and Old Town in Mombasa starting May 6th at 7 pm for 15 days. Markets and restaurants will also be closed, as well as a prohibition on all gatherings in these areas.
  • A nighttime curfew has been imposed across all of Kenya – everyone must stay in from 9pm to 4am. This curfew has been extended until further notice..
  • Places of worship may begin phased re-opening in conformity with applicable guidelines developed by the Inter-Faith Council. As outlined on July 6, guidelines mandate a maximum of one hundred (100) participants allowed at each worship ceremony and must not be more than one hour in duration. In-person worship shall not include congregants under age thirteen (13) years or over fifty-eight (58) or persons with underlying health conditions. Sunday schools and madrassas will remain suspended until further notice. The maximum number of persons permitted to attend funerals and weddings is reviewed upwards to 100, with all in attendance abiding with Ministry of Health Protocols.
  • In addition, the government is encouraging employers to allow employees to work from home and for all Kenyans to follow WHO recommendations for social distancing. The president has encouraged all Kenyans to wear masks when leaving home. Persons visiting a supermarket or any open-air market are required to wear a protective mask that covers the mouth and nose. Users of public or private transport are also required to wear a protective mask.
  • International travel in and out of Kenya has been RE-OPENED - with some restricts and requirements for those entering from outside Kenya.
  • Coronavirus is now impacting 47 African countries. There are over 1,000,000 cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the African continent. Although Africa seems to have been spared from heavy impact of COVID-19, deaths on the continent have reached 22,300.

Since school has been suspended country-wide, MITS has taken the following steps to minimize exposure:
  • Staff and students have been manufacturing protective facemarks.  These masks have been distributed to all students and staff at MITS, as well as some members of the community in Kamulu.
  • ​In the short term, food scarcity continues to be a concern throughout Kenya.​
  • Sunday worship service at Kamulu Church is still being broadcast on FaceBook live - Sunday service can been seen on Francis Mbuvi's personal FB page at: https://www.facebook.com/francis.mbuvi
  • Students are staying in their dorms, except for minimal time outside for exercise.
  • Students are not meeting as a large group for chapel each day, but rather meeting in very small groups in their dorms each morning for prayer, worship, and encouragement; 
  • Students are not in classrooms at the Learning Center for daily instruction, but they are working on lessons independently and in small groups in their residences;
  • Skills students are not attending skills training but working independently in the dorms.
  • All students are staying within their respective residences. 
  • Although other boarding schools across Kenya are shutting down and sending students home, MITS students do not have this option.  You can be assured that all students enrolled at MITS are being completely cared for on the MITS campus – arrangements have been made for MITS to continue full boarding and proper care of all students. Team members are buying food and supplies once a week.  Access to grocery stores is available each day – though social distancing is being enforced at stores.
  • MITS final year students in Kamulu are still moving forward and on track to graduate on December 5 this year!
  • MITS team members who live outside the MITS compound in Kamulu are working from home and only coming to the Skills Center when absolutely necessary.
  • Visitors and volunteers are not allowed at the MITS compound at this time.     
  • All MITS team members, families, and students are practicing social distancing; avoiding groups and gatherings of any size; washing and sanitizing their hands often; and washing their clothes and residences regularly; wearing masks and gloves when leaving home.
  • MITS street team has been forced to suspend daily work with street boys and girls and temporally close the MITS drop-in center in Eastleigh as of Wednesday, March 18.  The team shared this news with the street boys and girls on Tuesday and is working with government authorities and other non-profits to help find services for the thousands of kids left uncared for and struggling on the streets.  As you can imagine, this suspension of services to street kids has taken an emotional toll on the team and the kids.
  • The MITS street team has been able to handout food to street boys and to mothers for two hours each week at the MITS Eastliegh Center. The Eastleigh team continues to feed and serve approximately 50 street boys and 30 street mothers once a week at the Eastleigh Center.
  • The Eastleigh Center has re-opened and feeding street kids daily. The number of street kids seeking food and care continues to grow due to the pandemic and connected economic crisis. 
  • Students and staff have been educated on proper hand washing techniques and how to watch for and respond to symptoms of COVID-19 by our local medical professionals.  
  • The team has put plans in place for stocking up on all essentials and will be making limited trips to the market for supplies each month. The have contingency plans in place to ensure adequate food and supplies for MITS students should country-wide shortages occur.
  • The team is educating the students on this virus but also encouraging them and helping them feel safe. Most importantly, they are reminding them of God’s goodness and faithfulness in times of crisis and in times of peace.  They students remain in high spirits and are thankful for your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement.
  • The leadership team is meeting several times a week to continue to monitor and make changes as needed to our plans.  
  • All team members in Kenya and the students in Kamulu are staying safe and no cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Kamulu.
  • MITS graduates in Nairobi are struggling to pay bills and rent due to the loss of jobs.  The majority of job loss in Nairobi is within the restaurant and salon industries - this is where most MITS graduates were working prior to the pandemic.
  • MITS Into The World program continues to reach our to graduates and help many of them

​Regarding other issues:
  • All foreign and domestic travel for MITS staff and volunteers has been suspended until further notice. 
  • All gatherings and events through January 2021 in the US and Kenya have been postponed or canceled.
  • MITS does not currently have any college interns serving in Kenya. MITS internships have been postponed until 2021.
  • MITS does not currently have any mission trips on site in Kenya. All Mission Trips through December 2020 have been canceled.  Plans are underway to re-launch mission trips in 2021.  Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
  • During these uncertain times, regular monthly giving and monthly sponsorships are critical for providing ongoing monthly expenses.  If you would like to use MITS’s online donation portal for your monthly support (rather than mailing checks), you can easily set that up here.
  • Thank you to our amazing family, friends, and partners who continue to donate, support and encourage MITS during this challenging time! Keep Giving - Keep making a difference!
  • ​Please continue praying for MITS students, staff, and kids who are still struggling to survive life on the streets of Kenya.

Response to COVID-19: A Message from Executive Director, Brad Voss

Dear MADE IN THE STREETS Family and Friends,

Like many of you, we are prayerfully navigating the current COVID-19 global pandemic and learning to operate in a “new normal." We hope and pray that this finds each of you safe and healthy. Last week we were all faced with changes and disruptions that led to the cancellation and postponement of many trips and events scheduled for the next few months. The MITS team in the US and in Kenya has been monitoring the virus outbreak and working thoughtfully to address current and future challenges – and determine the best paths forward.

Here’s an update on the current situation in Kenya:
  • As of today, March 19, seven cases have been confirmed in the country of Kenya. All confirmed cases have been brought in through international travel. The government is taking serious action and putting in steps to control the spread of COVID-19.  This includes blocking inbound travel to Kenya to all except citizens and residents and the shutting down of all schools – both public and private schools, as well as boarding schools and universities.
  • In addition, the government is encouraging employers to allow employees to work from home and for all Kenyans to follow WHO recommendations for social distancing.
  • Since school has been suspended country-wide, MITS has taken the following steps to minimize exposure:  
    • Students are not meeting as a large group for chapel each day, but rather meeting in very small groups in their dorms each morning for prayer, worship, and encouragement;
    • Students are not in classrooms at the Learning Center for daily instruction, but they are working on lessons independently and in small groups in their residences; 
    • Skills students are attending skills training for limited time each morning, then working independently in the afternoon.
    • All students are staying within their respective residences. 
  • Although other boarding schools across Kenya are shutting down and sending students home, MITS students do not have this option.  You can be assured that all students enrolled at MITS are being completely cared for on the MITS campus – arrangements have been made for MITS to continue full boarding and proper care of all students.
  • MITS team members who live outside the MITS compound in Kamulu are working from home and only coming to the Skills Center when absolutely necessary.
  • Visitors and volunteers are not allowed at the MITS compound at this time.     
  • All MITS team members, families, and students are practicing social distancing; avoiding groups and gatherings over 10; washing and sanitizing their hands often; and washing their clothes and residences regularly.
  • MITS street team has been forced to suspend daily work with street boys and girls and temporally close the MITS drop-in center in Eastleigh as of Wednesday, March 18.  The team shared this news with the street boys and girls on Tuesday and is working with government authorities and other non-profits to help find services for the thousands of kids left uncared for and struggling on the streets.  As you can imagine, this suspension of services to street kids has taken an emotional toll on the team and the kids.

  • The team is educating the students on this virus but also encouraging them and helping them feel safe. Most importantly, they are reminding them of God’s goodness and faithfulness in times of crisis and in times of peace.  The students remain in high spirits and are thankful for your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement.
  • The leadership team is meeting several times a week to continue to monitor and make changes as needed to our plans.  

Regarding other issues:
  • All foreign and domestic travel for MITS staff and volunteers has been suspended until further notice. 
  • All March, April, and May gatherings and events in the US and Kenya have been postponed or canceled.
  • MITS does not currently have any college interns serving in Kenya.  A decision regarding interns planning to depart for Kenya in mid-May will be made the first week of April.
  • MITS does not currently have any mission trips on site in Kenya.  A decision regarding upcoming mission trips slated for this year will be made the first week of April.
  • During these uncertain times, regular monthly giving and monthly sponsorships are critical for providing ongoing monthly expenses.  If you would like to use MITS’s online donation portal for your monthly support (rather than mailing checks), you can easily set that up here.

There are still many unknowns at this time. Dealing with change and navigating these unknowns is tough, but we feel optimistic and ready to keep the students and staff at MITS healthy and well - which is our number one priority. We also feel concerned and uneasy about this pandemic and how it may negatively impact this year’s fundraising and our ability to provide all the necessary resources for MITS’s mission of loving and serving street kids in Kenya.  We covet your prayers and appreciate your continued support. We have a great global family of MITS partners and a great hope in the One who guides our path.  As we say often at MITS, “God is Good….All the time.”  We will be providing additional updates as they become available and reaching out soon to ask for your assistance.  Stay tuned for additional emails and follow MITS social media pages for more news and information.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support for MADE IN THE STREETS.  And thank you for showing and sharing the love of God to street kids!
 
With much love and thanks,
Brad

Why Sponsor a Student? Hear from a Current MITS Sponsor

1/31/2020

0 Comments

 
At MADE IN THE STREETS, we believe student sponsorship is incredibly rewarding for both you and the students, but don't just take our word for it! See what one of our sponsors, Alex Lamb, has to say about her experience:
Picture
​Why did you decide to sponsor a student at MITS?
 
I decided to sponsor a student after visiting MITS. I was in graduate school for Marriage and Family Therapy at Lipscomb University, and my professor arranged for me and a classmate to use a mission trip to MITS as credit for a course. We were able to go to MITS and conduct group counseling with the new students that had recently arrived to MITS and who were adjusting as new students. It was in the group counseling sessions where I connected with many, but specifically with one of the students. I found out she did not have a sponsor yet, and I knew in that very moment I had to sponsor her.
​What was it like visiting your sponsored student in Kenya? 

I had an opportunity to go back and visit with Susan 2 years after our initial visit. Over those two years we had kept in touch through letters and other friends that had visited MITS; however, it was the most surreal experience getting to see her in person face to face again. I got to hug her, and have that intentional time over my visit to hear about all the ways she had grown in the last two years. It was also special to see how much the students value their sponsors, and her excitement around seeing me again.

Picture
Why would you recommend sponsorship to someone else?
​
Sponsoring a student at MITS has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. It is not only investing financially but emotionally and relationally. Every encounter I have with Susan, I realize that she teaches me and impacts me more than I could ever impact her. She has become one of my most treasured relationships in my life.

As a sponsor, your monthly contribution plays a vital role in meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of a student at MITS.

The month of December includes some of the best seasons of the whole year.  December means winter weather season; the holiday season; and Giving Season.  As we close in on the end of 2019, there are some great giving opportunities that will make a lasting impact on kids who are currently living on the streets of Nairobi.

Online Giving

In a matter of minutes, you can give a secure donation online and make an immediate impact.  You may also choose to give your gift in honor or memory of someone, and your loved one will be thrilled to know that their impact on you prompted you to be generous toward street children in Kenya.

Stock Giving

With the current success of the US stock market and the change to rules for itemized deductions under the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, stock donations are one of the best ways to maximize your impact and reduce your taxes.  MADE IN THE STREETS makes it simple and easy to donate stock and make a life-changing difference for street kids.  Due to the new rules, stock donations can significantly reduce your taxes by giving you deductions that exceed your new increased standard deduction amount.  Stocks held for more than a year that have risen in price can be donated to MADE IN THE STREETS and provide a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of the donation.  For more information on making a stock donation to MADE IN THE STREETS before the end of the year,  contact MITS’ Executive Director Brad Voss (brad@madeinthestreets.org / 817-688-6675) or MITS’ Finance Director Ericka Maple (ericka@madeinthestreets.org / 615-300-5724).

Monthly Partnership

Monthly Partners are the Champions of MITS who go above and beyond to considerably impact the monthly operating expenses of loving and serving former street kids who are enrolled in the MADE IN THE STREETS boarding school program.  Monthly Partners can choose a monthly donation level that helps to cover the ongoing costs of food, housing, education, and mentorship, and more for each of the students seeking to change their life in the MITS program.  MITS Partners are paired with a current student and agree to donate monthly at one or more of four different levels ($25, $50, $75, $150).  Some partners even choose to cover the entire monthly expenses for one student ($400).  In addition to the essential financial support, MITS Partners also send and receive letters and updates from the MITS students, along with special news and fun surprises.
