Second Harvest Community Food Bank officials say $250,000 in tax credits bring a potential revenue of a half million dollars.
The tax credits announced Monday come from the Neighborhood Assistance Program.
That program allows donors who contribute $1,000 or more to qualified nonprofit organizations to receive 50 percent of the contribution back as a state tax credit.
“NAP is an excellent example of the government empowering organizations such as Second Harvest to promote healthy communities,” David Davenport, Second Harvest CEO said. “We are excited to have been selected for participation in NAP and we are making plans to take full advantage of the tax credits to improve the lives of those we serve.”
Those tax credits can be used for up to six tax periods including the current year.
Second Harvest also announced the organization has raised $210,769 in the Annual Fund Campaign That ends April 30th. The campaign goal was $200,000.
