Tax Credit Donations

Kansas Tax Credits are an easy way maximize your financial benefit of a donation and drastically improve a local household’s future. IHS was also awarded a grant that will match any donor’s contribution $1 for $1, doubling the amount we can use to help a family.

For example, a donor making a $1,000 charitable donation to IHS the donor will receive $450 subtracted from the Kansas tax obligation or added to the income tax refund. In addition, the donor receives federal tax benefits that vary with the donor’s effective tax bracket and other individual factors.

Yet, that donor's $1,000 donation will give us $2,000 to change the life of an individual or family through our IDA Program.

Interfaith Housing Services was awarded $450,000 in Kansas Tax Credits by the Department of Commerce in exchange for donations made to IHS.

Donors receive a 45% Kansas Tax Credit. This means that 45% of your donation is just like writing a check to the State of Kansas for your yearly income tax obligations.

All donations fund the Individual Development Accounts (IDA) that serve as an incentive for low-income individuals to save money giving them a tool to help break the bonds of poverty. You can help us attain that goal by making a donation of $250 or more to the IDA Program. IHS is working to expand the IDA program to many counties through-out Kansas. The IDA program will be available in a county as donations are made to the IDA program from that community.

To receive a tax credit for your donation please fill out this form and mail, fax, or email to our offices. Contributions can be made by Check, Credit Card, or Securities.
