Memorial and Tribute Gifts
Memorial and tribute gifts are powerful ways to honor or remember your loved one.
A tribute gift can be in honor of a child, teacher or supporter of United Services for Children. These gifts are acknowledged by our development team and a letter is mailed to the honoree on your behalf. Gifts can honor a birthday, Mother’s Day, or special recognition for a friend or colleague.
Memorial gifts are often made “in lieu of flowers” when a loved one has passed. Should you want to direct family and friends to make gifts to United Services for Children in lieu of flowers, we suggest the following wording for an obituary or other tribute:
In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to United Services for Children in memory of (name of deceased) to continue their mission of helping children of all abilities to reach their full potential. United Services for Children, 4140 Old Mill Parkway, St. Peters, MO 63376.

Donate Stock
Did you know that a donation of appreciated securities directly to United Services for Children can allow you to increase your charitable gift and also help you avoid capital gains tax? Compared with donating cash, or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift AND your tax deduction.
Donating long-term appreciated stock can be an effective and efficient method of supporting United Services for Children. When you donate appreciated securities to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. Check with your broker or tax advisor to determine if this type of donation makes sense for you. You may also contact Lauren Kingsten at Acropolis Investment Management to discuss more about the potential benefits of this type of donation and to get the information necessary to make the transfer to United Services. Lauren can also work with you and your tax advisor to ensure this type of transaction will be mutually beneficial for you and United Services for Children.
