Your financial gifts make your community stronger by helping those in need. We try to make giving easy; please see the list below for ways to give.

$0.93 of every dollar donated to Family Service directly supports those in need in Yellowstone County

Make the most of your gift by considering the options below:

  • Cash, Check & Credit Card – The quickest and easiest way to give! Donate securely online or send a check to: Family Service, P.O. Box 1020, Billings MT 59103
  • Monthly Giving – Budget your donations throughout the year! We’ll send you a monthly thank you and a year-end summary to help with tax filing.
  • Appreciated Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds – The most tax-efficient way to give! Contact us for direct transfer instructions to get the greatest out-of-pocket savings.
  • Deferred Gift Annuity – Earn a Montana State Tax Credit worth approximately 40% of your total donation! Limit of $10,000 annual credit per person. Gifts are permanently restricted.
  • Designated Bequest – As you undergo estate planning, consider a bequest to Family Service! Drafting your own will? Contact us for suggested wording!
  • IRA Contributions – Donate the Required Minimum Distribution to Family Service – and never pay tax on an IRA again! Funds must be transferred directly to Family Service to avoid tax penalties. Contact us for transfer instructions.

Your donations are always put to good use! Check out our Donor Transparency page for links to GuideStar Ratings, IRS Documents & Annual Reports

I don’t have to be afraid any more. When I was homeless, I spent all my energy hiding, so I wouldn’t get hurt by others. Now that I am in my own apartment, I can be clean all the time and I am safe. Thank you!
