Family Connections is a participant in the West Virginia Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP).  Donors who contribute at least $500 (up to $100,000) can receive 50% of the donation as a WV state income tax credit. Contributions eligible for the tax credit include cash, tangible personal property (valued at its fair market value), real property (valued at its fair market value), and contributions of in-kind professional services (valued at 75% of their fair market value).

This is not a tax deduction, but a tax credit to WV taxpayers who make an eligible contribution to a qualified charitable organization pursuant to the terms of a Certified Neighborhood Investment Program Project Plan.  Our allowable credit is limited so we must offer them on a first come first served basis.  

In a nutshell, by supporting Family Connections, you can receive up to half your gift back in the form of a WV tax credit.  

You can obtain more detailed information by calling the WV Development Office at 304-558-2234, visit online at WV Department of Commerce Neighborhood Investment Program, or call Family Connections at 304-527-3303.
