State tax credits will bolster fundraising efforts from CrossWinds Counseling and Wellness, Camp Wood YMCA and the Greenwood Preservation Society.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced over $4 million in Community Service Tax Credits to help nearly 30 nonprofit organizations involved in child care, healthcare, education, arts and/or housing. The tax credits, issued annually since 1994, offer a 70-percent tax credit to qualified donors in populations of 15,000 people or less and a 50-percent credit for donors in larger communities.
CrossWinds will use its tax credits for buying and renovating two buildings as part of its ongoing “Breaking Stigma, Breaking Ground” capital campaign. CrossWinds has already earmarked the former Chi Omega building and is looking to have a second building as part of a campus setting for mental health care.
Camp Wood, meanwhile, will relocate and expand its health center to help serve children with chronic or severe disabilities.
Greenwood Preservation Society in Greenwood County is receiving tax credits to renovate the Red Owl Building in Eureka into a creative, entrepreneurial, retail and meeting space.
