Charitable Gifts Offer Special Benefits Now

People frequently give to charitable organizations because they believe in the cause or want to support its mission or values.  However, now through December 31, 2011, donors may give to the causes they care about most and take advantage of a special Michigan Tax Credit.


Gifts made before year-end to Community Foundation endowments, homeless shelters food banks, and to public entities (such as state universities, public broadcasting stations, public libraries, and the state museum) are eligible.


A gift to the Home Builders Association of the Grand Traverse Area Scholarship Endowment at the Community Foundation qualifies for this special credit.  If you wish to make such a contribution that will support the HBA Scholarship fund and afford you an attractive tax credit, click on the following link:  http://www.gtrcf.org/Funds/index.cfm?Fuseaction=record&FundID=928.


To find out more, consult your tax advisor or visit the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation website at www.4good4ever.org.
