Forgotten Harvest donations have added tax credits
OAK PARK
Huntington National Bank matches donations to Forgotten Harvest
Huntington National Bank announced that through the rest of 2010, it will provide a matching grant, dollar for dollar, for every donation made to Forgotten Harvest until a total of $25,000 has been reached by donors.
The state of Michigan offers special tax credits to donations made to certified hunger relief organizations.
Gifts to Forgotten Harvest qualify for this and other federal tax credits and may reduce the out-of-pocket cost of a contribution by up to 85 percent.
The Michigan tax credit is 50 percent of the contribution — or up to $100 on a single return and up to $200 on a joint return. These credits also can be combined with any federal tax deduction.
This means a gift of $400 from a couple in the 35 percent federal tax bracket could actually have a net cost of just $60 after all credits and deductions are applied. Donors should see their accountants for specific details. Visit www.forgottenharvest.org.
