ETHO TAX CREDIT
Change a life without
ever changing your budget
Want to have a say in how your tax dollars are spent? Now there's a way!
What is it?
The Children's Promise Act tax credit, passed by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2019, provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for donations made to Community Care Network - a qualified Eligible Transitional Home Organization (ETHO).​
​
Who can Apply for Credits: Business Taxpayers (Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, and Sole Proprietorships), married couples, and single individuals.
​
What Taxes Can be Credited: Businesses, married couples, and single individuals can receive a dollar for dollar reduction in their MS state income and property taxes. The amount of the reduction is up to ½ of your tax bill.
​
Carry Forward: If you do not use the tax credit in one year, you do not lose it. You can take the credit over the next five (5) years immediately following your gift.
Other Limitations: Contributions cannot be used for other state charitable credits and cannot be used as a deduction for state income tax purposes.
​
Note: There are a limited amount of credits available each calendar year. Please contact our Executive Director, Diane Easley at
(228) 219-2987 or by email at etho@ccnms.org with questions about the process or to find out how your gift will make a lasting impact.
