As we approach the end of the year, I find myself thinking about the extraordinary generosity that fuels our work at Revitalize CDC.
Every repaired roof, every safe home, every child or senior supported through our health, education, nutrition, and digital navigation programs, each of these success stories begins with someone choosing to invest in their community.
Right now, you have a powerful opportunity to make that investment go twice as far. Through the Massachusetts Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program, any donation of $1,000 or more to Revitalize CDC earns you a 50% refundable state tax credit. That means a $1,000 gift effectively costs you only $500 after the credit. A $10,000 gift costs $5,000 while delivering the full benefit to the local lowincome families who need it most. mass.gov/info-details/community-investment-tax-credit-program-citc.
This is one of the most generous community investment incentives in the country. And it’s open to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits including churches, regardless of the state in which you file taxes. On top of the state credit, your gift also qualifies for a federal charitable tax deduction, increasing your overall savings.
Your contribution provides flexible, immediate funds that allow Revitalize CDC to respond to urgent needs, keeping seniors and veterans warm and safe in their homes, ensuring families have healthy food, helping residents gain digital access, and strengthening the neighborhoods we all share.
When you give through CITC, you’re not just making a donation you’re creating stability for a family, dignity
for a neighbor, and resilience for an entire community.
Your CITC gift provides:
- Considerable tax savings.
- Eligibility for individuals, businesses, and nonprofits including churches.
- A federal IRS charitable deduction.
- A refundable credit, meaning excess credit comes back to you even if you owe little or no tax.
This is a moment when your generosity truly has the power to transform lives. Please consider making your CITC-eligible donation today at www.RevitalizeCDC.com.
Double your impact. Save on your taxes. Strengthen your community.
And, as always, please consult your professional tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation. Email if you have any questions at CLoveless@RevitalizeCDC.com Together, we can ensure that every neighbor, every family has the chance to live in a safe, healthy, and stable home.
