(KAIR)--An Atchison addiction treatment center is named as one of 36 nonprofit organizations across Kansas selected to share a portion of $4.1 million in Community Service Program Tax Credits.
A release from the office of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly says the “awarded nonprofits were chosen through a highly competitive, score-based selection process.”
Selected to receive $88,000, or a 70% tax credit, is the Valley Hope Association, with the funds to be used for renovation of a recently acquired 21,000 square foot building, adjacent to the existing center to create a Clinical Care Center with space for counseling, workshops, and a gymnasium to improve the patient experience and privacy at the Atchison facility, located on North 2nd Street.
Kelly, in the release, says “local nonprofit organizations are working diligently to address issues that have tremendous impact on communities,” explaining that the Community Service Tax Credit Program is a valuable tool that allows the state to support their efforts.”
According to the release, CSP tax credits have been issued in the Sunflower State since 1994, and explains that program provides a 70% tax credit to qualified donors in rural communities with populations less than 15,000, and a 50% tax credit in larger communities. The credits are a direct deduction from the donor- state tax obligation.
This year, the program will assist six counties with building new or upgrading existing child care facilities, as well as other community projects across the state, including housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, a center for youth who have aged out of the foster system, a dormitory for children in acute psychiatric crises, a community wellness facility, historic renovations, and health care equipment.
