TOPEKA — The Kansas Department of Commerce has awarded 13 nonprofit organizations around the state Community Service Tax Credits (CSP). Since 1994, CSP has helped nonprofit organizations undertake major capitol fund-raising drives for various projects which have made an enormous impact on the lives of Kansans – including services for children and families, health care, crime prevention and youth apprenticeship/job training.
“Non-profit organizations make an enormous impact on the lives of Kansans and on our state economy,” said Nick Jordan, Interim Secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce. “We are pleased to extend an opportunity to worthwhile organizations to benefit from Community Service Tax Credits and help them continue providing invaluable services to our citizens.”
Tax credit awards are distributed through a competitive application process. Based on the scope and costs of the proposed project, applicants may request up to $250,000 in tax credits. Applicant organizations in rural areas (with less than 15,000 in population) are eligible for a seventy percent credit. Applicant organizations in non-rural areas are eligible for a fifty percent credit.
