Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas has been awarded $150,000 through the Community Service Tax Credit Grant program at the 50-percent rate through the Kansas Department of Commerce. There were 55 applications of which 29 were awarded with a total of $4,084,455.75. $1 million of that amount went to childcare projects. The tax credits are available to donors on a first come, first served basis and are expected to go quickly.
Tax credits are an incentive for donors to give to charity and non profit organizations. Any tax credit issued by DSNWK that exceeds the tax liability of the donor is refunded to the taxpayer.
“You can use the tax credit to pay any unpaid Kansas state taxes, or receive the credit back on your refund,” said Jerry Michaud, President/CEO of DSNWK.
Donations to this project also count towards DSNWK’s $5 million Stronger Forever Together capital campaign goal.
“We are very thankful and excited to once again have the opportunity to offer these tax credits for donors,” Michaud said. “These donations will be used for economic rejuvenation through construction updates on outdated buildings targeting energy efficiency, ease of access to facilities and better connectivity.”
DSNWK is a 501(c)3 nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities from the counties of Cheyenne, Decatur, Ellis, Gove, Graham, Logan, Norton, Osborne, Phillips, Rawlins, Rooks, Russell, Sheridan, Sherman, Smith, Thomas, Trego and Wallace.
