Invest
True philanthropy is NOT giving away large sums of money. It is about giving what you can. Yet so many people do not support causes that matter to them because they don’t believe the sum of money, they can give will accomplish anything. Every penny matters to MHA, and every penny can make a difference. So how can you help?
In Memoriam
Would you like to give a one-time or on-going gift honoring the memory of a friend or loved one? Contact us today so we can plan for creating a new legacy for someone special.

Cash or checks
Investing in mental health with outright cash gifts is one of the easiest ways to give any amount. Such gifts may be mailed to the attention of our Office of Donor Advising at 555 N. Woodlawn, Ste. 3105 / Wichita KS 67208.
Planned Gifts
Bequeath a percentage of your assets, a specific dollar amount, or a non-cash asset through your will or trust.
Life Insurance
MHA is able to accept paid-off and fully funded whole and universal life insurance policies. These may be distributed in two ways. During life, MHA may be made the beneficiary of the policy through a simple paperwork change through your insurance agent. olicies may be one of the assets set aside for charities through your will or trust.
Retirement Accounts
MHA is equipped to accept all – or portions of – un-needed retirement accounts such as IRA’s (traditional, Roth, SEP, Simple, etc.) and 401k’s. MHA may be listed directly on the account paperwork as the beneficiary, or the account may be one of the assets you choose to set aside to fulfill your charitable goals through your will or trust. Either way, please contact our Office of Planned Giving to make them aware of your charitable intent and to discuss how those funds should be used.
Stocks and Bonds
In times of strong financial growth, appreciated stock and bond portfolios often create a substantial capital gains tax burden. In order to avoid these taxes, portions of these portfolios may be gifted directly to MHA. Working with your financial advisor to make the transfer direct keeps you from personally taking possession of the returns, thereby avoiding the income tax hit that you would incur if you acted as a pass-through.
Consumer Wishlist
Give a gift to one of the community members we serve. Check the selection of hygiene, household and gift ideas requested by our consumers. Purchased items can also be shipped directly to MHA.
Consumer Wishlist is also home to our annual Adopt-a-Bell program during Christmas.
Real Estate and Non-cash Assets
MHA is equipped to accept a wide variety of non-cash assets, from real estate like homes and commercial property to art, stamp, and coin collections, capital manufacturing equipment, farm commodities like wheat and livestock, musical instruments, and more. Each type of asset is subject to unique tax implications for the donor, as well as to MHA’s Gift Acceptance policy, so the intent to give these types of gifts should be discussed with our Development office. In addition to helping you dispose of assets which you cannot otherwise use – or might subject you to capital gains taxes if you did – this option allows you to continue supporting the causes that matter to you without cutting into your cash supply.
