(KAIR)--Three local non-profit organizations are among 13 state wide awarded Community Service Tax Credits.

According to a press release issued by the Kansas Department of Commerce, the credits have, since 1994, “helped non-profits undertake major capitol fund-raising drives for various projects which have made an enormous impact on the lives of Kansans.”

The local organizations named to receive tax credits in 2017 include Atchison Valley Hope, which receives credits in the amount of $200,000, which will be used for the renovation of the treatment center.

Theatre Atchison receives credits in the amount of $210,000, which are earmarked to support the ongoing goal of renovating the former Royal Movie Theater, in downtown Atchison. That will also allow the organization to provide youth programming.

Holton-based Rural Health Resources of Jackson County, Inc, has been selected to receive tax credits in the amount of $213,000. The credits will allow the Holton Community Hospital to move forward with the goal of a building and canopy additon, as well as an emergency room and inpatient/swingbed facility remodel.

Tax credit awards are distributed through a competitive application process.

Based on the scope and costs of the proposed project, applicants may request up to $250,000 in tax credits. Applicant organizations in rural areas, with a population of less than 15,000, are eligible for a seventy percent credit.

Applicant organizations in non-rural areas are eligible for a fifty percent credit.
