Read the 2027 Award Announcement The Community Service Program Tax Credit provides an opportunity for private nonprofit organizations and public healthcare entities to improve their ability to undertake major capital campaigns for projects involving community service including childcare, nongovernmental crime prevention, healthcare, youth apprenticeship and youth technical training.

Under this program, the state authorizes select nonprofit organizations to offer tax credits to donors making contributions to the approved projects. The percentage of credits awarded to the donor is dependent on the location of the charity (not the location of the contributor).

Eligible donors may receive a credit equal to 70 percent of the amount contributed if the community service organization is in a rural community (less than 15,000). If the community service organization is in an urban community (more than 15,000), eligible contributors receive a credit equal to 50 percent of the amount contributed. All Johnson County applicants, regardless of community size, are eligible for a 50 percent credit.

In 2026, $4. 13 million in state tax credits are available for CSP. The maximum tax credit award for a project is $200,000.

Each proposal shall address one of the following areas in order to qualify: Community service, including childcare Non-governmental crime prevention Youth job and technical training Please make sure that letters of support are provided directly to the applicant to be submitted with the application.

The Department of Commerce will evaluate all proposals based on project need, innovation, agency capacity, planning, community support, and confidence in the project being completed. Key considerations include: Describing the community need that the proposed project will benefit. Addressing the impact of the project on the community with projected statistical results.

Demonstrating how the project will impact the community and how broad-based support has been gathered. Providing pledge letters from committed project donors along with a detailed fundraising plan. Demonstrating the ability and capacity to complete the project.

They are a way for a taxpayer to substantially reduce the cost of making a contribution to a charitable organization.

These credits are refundable AND transferable. Who is eligible for Tax Credits? The tax credit is for contributions made by business firms or individuals subject to Kansas income tax, Kansas privilege tax or the premium tax or privilege fees imposed on insurance companies.

The minimum amount that can be donated is $250. There is no maximum amount. What is the Department of Commerce’s role in selling the tax credits?

It is the responsibility of the nonprofit organization to solicit donations, complete the necessary paperwork and send the information to the Kansas Department of Commerce for processing. The Kansas Department of Commerce will provide contact information to potential donors interested in donating. Ensure your project is new or one-time in nature.

Previously awarded CSP projects are not eligible to apply, even if award years are not consecutive. Securing at least 50% of your anticipated needed donations through signed pledge letters will result in a higher rating on applications. Address the impact of the project on the community with projected statistical results.

Include historical data on the target group that supports the project. Gathering letters of support is a great way to enhance your application. Get a broad base of community leaders to confirm the importance of your project.
