Buildings - Enterprise Zone
Giving is even Easier
Cash contributions to the Aims Capital Campaign are now eligible
for an enterprise zone tax credit of 25 percent.
This credit is in addition to any state and federal tax deductions
you may receive. Depending on your individual tax bracket,
the actual cost of your gift may be considerably less than you imagine. Per
the following example, if you fall within the 28-percent tax bracket,
the cost of your $10,000 gift may as little as $4,200.
Example:
