You heard correctly, folks! Our NIP tax credits are in, and we are ready to take donations. With a donation of $500 or more, you can get a state tax break for half of the amount.
What does this mean for Read Aloud WV? Well, it means we receive more donations that help us put books in the hands of WV children, and we get to give something back to our donors (besides a heartfelt thank you!) that will help them with their state tax bill at the end of the year.
As the majority of our funding comes directly from individual donors, this can make a huge difference in the projects we’re able to implement in a year. The more our donors are able to help us now, the less we have to fundraise later in the year when our book distributions are in full-swing. This means more time spent directly coordinating with schools and volunteers to get kids the tools they need to grow their reading skills.
Interested in giving early, getting a tax break, and helping us to change the literacy climate in WV? You can donate by:
- Mailing a check to Read Aloud WV, PO Box 1784, Charleston, WV 25326 (this is preferred, as there are no fees associated with your donation and we receive the full amount to put towards our programs).
- Clicking the Donate button in our menu to make a secure donation through Square.
- Going to paypal.me/readaloudwv to make a secure donation through PayPal.
Just be sure to donate $500 or more and put NIP in the memo or notes section, depending on your payment method. We don’t have an unlimited number of credits to give out, however, so it’s a good idea to donate early to ensure you get the tax credit.
Give us a call if you have any questions at (304) 345-5212.
We’re so grateful for the generosity of all of our donors over the years. You make Read Aloud’s work possible in your communities. You help children build a love of reading that will serve them their entire lives. Thank you.
