Community Investment Tax Credit Program (CITC)
Did you know that you can help communities reduce their energy costs, convert vacant lots to gardens, create healthier homes and schools, AND GET A 50% TAX CREDIT! The Neighborhood Design Center is one of only 35 non-profits statewide that has received Maryland Community Investment Tax Credits (CITC). This means that any company or individual who makes a minimum donation of $500 will receive a 50% Maryland state tax credit (i.e. $250 for a $500 donation) in addition to the regular state and federal tax deductions for charitable giving.
Example: A $500 donation minus $250 CITC tax credit (50%) minus $83 Federal deduction (39%) minus $35 State deduction (7%) = $368 in tax credits and deductions! (depending on your taxable income – consult your tax advisor).
Donations to NDC's CITC program will be used to support "Green by Design" - providing community leaders with green educational workshops and pro-bono design services.
