Are you looking for a less taxing way to give?

Giving through your community foundation qualifies you for big savings through the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit. For example:

  • Married donors, filing jointly, can receive a 50% tax credit of up to $200 on a gift of $400 to a permanent endowment fund.
  • A single person can receive a $100 tax credit on a gift of $200.
  • Michigan businesses have the potential to receive up to a $5,000 tax credit (not to exceed 5% of total Single Business Tax) on a gift of $10,000.
