Businesses earn tax credits by donating!

Let us multiply the impact of your business donation by 75% while also letting you choose where your tax dollars are invested. With very little paperwork, it's an easy process!

Participating in the CDFA tax credit program is a unique and attractive way for a business to contribute to a charitable cause for three main reasons:

  • CDFA has done the vetting for you

    through a competitive grant application process, verifying G.A.L.A.'s 501(c)3 status and identifying the project’s viability and alignment with NH economic development goals.

  • Stretch the impact of your donation.

    For example, after federal deduction, a $1,000 out-of-pocket donation translates to approximately $11,000 toward the selected project.

  • You can direct where your tax money goes.

    This unique program allows a business to direct its state tax liability to a local project they care about as opposed to the state general fund.

The Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) Tax Credit Program is actually very simple, so we'll try not to overcomplicate it for you. Businesses that donate to a CDFA-approved project can get at least 75% of that contribution back in the form of a state business tax credit.
