Double Your Impact with IHCDA NAP Tax Credits
St. Jude House is proud to participate in Indiana’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), administered by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA). This program allows you to make a powerful difference in the lives of survivors of domestic violence—while reducing your Indiana state tax liability.
What Are NAP Tax Credits?
NAP tax credits are a state-authorized incentive designed to encourage charitable giving to organizations that serve economically disadvantaged communities. When you donate to St. Jude House through the NAP program, you receive a 50% Indiana state tax credit based on your contribution amount.
- Donate $100, receive $50 in tax credits
- Donate $1,000, receive $500 in tax credits
This credit is applied directly against your Indiana state income tax, reducing what you owe—not just your taxable income. That is why a tax credit is even more valuable than a deduction.
Why It Matters
Your gift helps St. Jude House provide safe shelter, counseling, and support services for survivors and their children. Every dollar you give through NAP stretches further, allowing us to serve more families in crisis.
How It Works
- Make a qualifying donation (minimum $100) to St. Jude House while NAP credits are available
- Complete the NAP Donor Contribution Form we provide
- When you file your Indiana state taxes, claim your credit using the information we supply
Credits are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so act quickly to reserve yours.
Example: How the Math Works
- If you donate $500, you will receive a $250 Indiana tax credit
- If you donate $1,000, you will receive a $500 Indiana tax credit
- Your out-of-pocket cost is significantly reduced, while your impact remains strong
