Missouri Tax Credits

Easterseals Midwest is thrilled to be able to offer Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits to Missouri state taxpayers. The Neighborhood Assistance Program allows Missouri taxpayers to determine which charitable organizations benefit from state tax dollars. Tax credits are worth 50% of your gift, in addition to standard state and federal deductions. The higher the income tax bracket, the lower the final cost of the gift to you, our donor.

Who Qualifies?

NAP credits are available to anyone who pays taxes on business income, including:

  • Corporations
  • S-Corporations
  • Individuals operating a farm in Missouri
  • Individuals operating a sole proprietorship
  • Individuals with rental property in Missouri
  • LLCs
  • Partnerships
  • Express companies
  • Financial institutions
  • Insurance companies

Benefits

Tax credits are available for gifts of $2,500 or more. As a donor at this level, you will also become a member of the Easterseals Midwest Presidential Circle. President's Circle Membership comes with a number of special benefits, including monthly email updates from our CEO Wendy Sullivan!
