Virginia Income Tax Credits

Take advantage of two Virginia programs that allow you to receive credits on your state taxes in exchange for qualifying donations to Rise Richmond:

  • Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP): for donations to nonprofits serving individuals living in poverty

  • Education Improvement Scholarship Program (EIS): for donations toward scholarships for students from low-income households to attend independent schools in Virginia, like Rise Academy


With a gift for tax credits, which are valued at 65% of the donation, you’re able to support student scholarships while also realizing significant tax savings.

Some donors use the tax benefit to multiply their annual giving to Rise Richmond. Others use these programs to redirect their state tax liability to Rise Richmond. Depending on individual tax situations, these programs can return up to 84% of the value of a cash gift in tax savings, and potentially up to 100% of the value of a stock gift, depending on cost basis. 

At a glance:

  • Minimum donation for individuals: $500/year

  • Maximum donation for individuals: $125,000/year

  • Minimum donation for businesses: $616/year

  • Maximum donation for businesses: no limit

  • Permitted donations: cash, marketable securities, and retirement account distributions

  • Donations that don’t qualify: gifts from donor-advised funds or foundations

Please consult your tax professional or financial advisor to evaluate how these programs can impact your individual tax situation.
