100% of your donations go to families in need. OMR’s Board Members cover all operating costs.
One Month’s Rent (OMR) works through the Howard County Community Action Council (CAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. OMR is not a 501(c)(3) and CAC is. CAC screens applicants and ensures that qualified families receive all services needed, including financial counseling, food assistance, energy assistance, and so on.
To donate to OMR via a personal check, make your check out to Community Action Council and be sure to put One Month’s Rent on the memo line. So that we can track it and thank you personally, please send it to our mailing address:
One Month’s Rent
PO Box 2153
Columbia, MD 21045
CAC will send an acknowledgement letter for your tax records.
To donate to OMR online via your credit card or PayPal follow this link:
https:/cac-hc.org/one-months-rent/ to the Community Action Council page and select the DONATE button near the bottom of the page. Once you submit a short form and your donation, you will get an email acknowledgement and soon after a letter for your tax records.
To donate to OMR via an automated or charitable investment account have any checks made out to Community Action Council and be sure to put One Month’s Rent on the memo line. You may be required to send those donations directly to the Community Action Council rather than to the One Month’s Rent post office box. The CAC mailing address is:
CAC
9820 Patuxent Woods Drive
Columbia MD 21046
If, for tax purposes, you need the Community Action Council’s Employer Identification Number,
it is 52-823083.
CAC will send an acknowledgement letter for your tax records.
Thanks to all of you who contributed this year and special thanks to those that have contributed for several years. Due to the rising costs of housing, the average donation size to each family is increasing. This means the number of families that we can help is decreasing over time. We need your help.
