WV State Tax Credits through the Neighborhood Investment Program
**While the Gabriel Project needs and welcomes your donation, all of our WV Neighborhood Investment Program state tax credits for 2022 – 2023 have been issued. Federal charitable tax deductions may still apply.**
What are Neighborhood Investment Program tax credits?
Neighborhood Investment Program state tax credits are available for donations of $500 or more to the Gabriel Project. Individuals as well as businesses can take advantage of these tax credits
How do these tax credits work?
Once your donation is received by the Gabriel Project, you will receive 50% of your donated amount in the form of West Virginia state tax credits.
If you are donating as an individual, use your credits to reduce your West Virginia Personal Income Tax liability. If you are donating as a business, use your credits to reduce your West Virginia Corporate Net Income Tax.
Tax credits reduce total tax liability (the amount you owe the state). In other words, your donation to the Gabriel Project will allow you to make a smaller tax payment to the State of West Virginia. In addition you may be able to apply your donation as a deduction for federal income tax purposes.
How can the Gabriel Project offer state tax credits?
The Neighborhood Investment Program was established by the WV Legislature in 1996 to increase charitable giving to nonprofit organizations in the state. The Gabriel Project has been a NIP participant for over twelve years.
The Gabriel Project’s current application for NIP state tax credits was approved by the WV Development Office on September 1, 2022. The Gabriel Project is proud to rank in the top 16% of approved applications for NIP credits. This high ranking means we are among the most worthy organizations in West Virginia for charitable giving and for services to low-income citizens.
How soon can I apply these tax credits? Are there restrictions on their use?
Donors can apply their credits to the current 2022 tax year as long as you date the payment prior to or on December 31st. Tax credits may not be used to reduce your total tax liability on any one tax by more than 50 percent annually. However any unused credits may be carried over for the next tax year as along as they are used within a 5-year period.
