How does it work?
Any individuals, couples, businesses and corporations with an Indiana state tax liability can donate to Habitat for Humanity and receive an Indiana state tax credit equal to 50% of the gift! For example, a gift of $1000 would provide a $500 state tax credit. There is a cap of $10,000 in tax credits earned per tax year (for a $20,000 donation), but any unused credit may be carried over for up to five years. The minimum donation is $500 for $250 in tax credits, and the maximum is $20,000 for $10,000 in tax credits. These credits are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To take advantage of these savings, contact Lindsey Boswell (boswell@monroecountyhabitat.org/812.331.4069 Ext 6) to ensure there are remaining credits. Checks must be sent with a completed tax credit form to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana, 101 W Ohio St., Ste 2000, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
