Cash and Stocks Benefit from YOP Tax Credits

ECH Every Child's Hope has been awarded a grant from the Missouri Department of Economic Development enabling us to offer state tax credits to eligible donors to Youth Opportunities Project (YOP).

Who is eligible? 
      Anyone with a Missouri Tax liability making a donation of $500 or more between July 12, 2009 and June 30, 20012. Gifts of Cash and Stock are eligible.

How much is the tax credit worth?    
      The tax credit is worth 50% of your YOP donation. For example, a donation of $500 would equal a $250 tax credit. Plus your regular federal and state tax deductions apply for the entire $500 donation. Credits can be carried over five years.

How do I apply? 
      Just designate your donation of $500 or more when you mail it in as a YOP contribution.
