When you give $1,000 or more to Impact South County, the state gives you back 50% of your donation as a tax credit. In effect, the Commonwealth matches your gift, so your dollars go twice as far.
At first I thought the CITC Program was too good to be true! After making my first qualifying donation and receiving the tax credit, I doubled my donation the next year; a win-win for a great cause!
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts launched the CITC program in 2012 to encourage people to donate to community development organizations such as the Impact South County.
Through the CITC program, if you contribute $1,000 or more to Impact South County, you will receive a state tax credit (rebate) equal to 50% of your donation — even if you don’t have any income tax. The credit reduces your state tax liability while directly benefiting local projects.
This credit is available to individuals, businesses, non-profits, and out-of-state residents. CITC donations can be designated toward a specific project, and you can make multiple contributions through the program.
If you are not an MA resident, you will receive a check for 50% of your donation after filing an non-resident income tax return.
As a CITC donor, you are providing essential, flexible funds for Impact South County to develop new programs, expand current services, and fill funding gaps. Join many other individuals, non-profits, and businesses taking advantage of this unique opportunity.
