Tax Advantages


All who care about the Keweenaw and pay Michigan income taxes would benefit from contributing.

Donations made to Michigan Community Foundations generate a tax credit of fifty cents for every dollar contributed.

  • $100 for an individual filing singularly (for a $200 donation)
  • $200 for a married couple filing jointly (based on a $400 donation)
  • $5,000 or 10 percent of tax liability before claiming any credits, whichever is less, for a resident estate or trust (based on a $10,000 gift)
  • $5,000 or 5 percent of tax liability before claiming any credits, whichever is less, for taxpayers filing Michigan Single Business Tax returns (based on a $10,000 gift).

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS: Our annual audit, IRS Form 990, and our annual application for the State of Michigan License to Solicit Donations are available at our office during business hours.
