BIG Tax Credits for RTMC Donors
 
Give more & get more with RTMC!
If you are a Maryland resident or a business located in the state, then your gift to Rebuilding Together qualifies you for an additional 50% tax credit from the state - on top of your standard state and federal charitable tax deduction! The tax credits were made available to RTMC's donors through the Community Investment Tax Credit program. Because we have a limited amount of tax incentives available, we'd encourage you to make the most of your charitable donations today!

World Bank volunteers
prepare to paint
On September 29th, volunteers from the World Bank worked hammer-in-hand along with RTMC team members to renovate a local men's homeless shelter operated by Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH). In addition to cleaning, organizing and painting common areas, the facility's bathroom received a complete renovation.   

"To have you [RTMC and volunteers] come in and in one day, or a couple days, transform our men's bathroom into a dignified area - it made me think how lucky I am to have my own bathroom... and to have a bathroom that really meets their needs [here at the shelter] is great." Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless' executive director, Susie Sinclair-Smith said. Read more
