NIP Tax Credits Available - ACT NOW!

We recently received the following message from our friends at the Beckley Area Foundation who are extending this opportunity to the Webster County Community Fund, the Webster Springs Main Street Fund, The George-Jean Douglas Scholarship Fund, Bill Weese Trades Scholarship Fund and John Wood Scholarship Fund…all benefitting Webster County. 
If you or someone you know has been considering a donation, now is the time to act!  These tax credits can allow an individual or business to make a significant donation to help our community, while saving significantly on their tax burden.

"Despite the fact that I have worked with the Beckley Area Foundation (BAF) for over 20 years, and I have celebrated as our assets grew from 4.5 million to over 26 million, I have seldom ever asked anyone to make a donation to our community foundation.  However, I would be doing you a disservice if you were not informed of the unique opportunity offered by the Neighborhood investment Program.  Each year we receive an allocation of WV state tax credits that we award on a first come, first served basis to eligible donors.  You can receive WV state tax credits in the amount of one half of your donation of $500 or more dollars.  Your gift may be directed to an existing fund or you may establish a new named fund.  A new discretionary fund requires a $5,000 donation; a new designated fund requires a minimum gift of $10,000.   You will receive a voucher in one half the amount of your gift; this voucher can be used to reduce your state tax liability by the amount shown on the voucher.  In effect, you will get half your money back!  Furthermore, you can still use the entire donation as a charitable deduction on your federal tax return.  If you are in the 33% federal tax bracket, a donation of $10,000 could result in $1,650 federal tax savings and a $5,000 WV state tax savings from NIP . . . the final cost being only $3,350!
