Virginia State Income Tax Credit

Your contribution to VHCF may be eligible for Virginia’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP).  NAP offers Virginia state income tax credits to individuals and eligible donors of qualified, participating organizations.  VHCF participates in the NAP program.

Eligible corporations and individuals making charitable contributions to VHCF may receive tax credits valued at 50% of their donation (see criteria below).

Donor Type Donation Type Minimum Eligible Donation Value of Tax credit (50% of donation) Maximum Donation Eligible for Tax Credit Maximum Tax credit per taxable year
Individual Cash $500 $250 $125,000 $62,500
Corporation Cash $616 $313 N/A N/A

Please Note:

  • Donations Must Be Pre-approved in order to receive NAP tax credit. Contact Kimberly Separ at (804) 587-0515 for additional information prior to making your gift.
  • All donations must be made directly to VHCF with no strings attached and without any conditions or expectations of monetary or other benefits received from VHCF.
  • Online donations are only eligible for state NAP tax credits if you donate through the VHCF website here.
    • Donating online, versus mailing your donation to VHCF, does incur a fee. As such, your NAP tax credit for online contributions will be for the total amount of your donation less 3% charged by Bloomerang. Donating $1,000 via the website link, minus the fee, would result in a donation of $970.
    • If you would like VHCF to receive the full $1,000 donation, you will need to adjust the donation amount up by 3%. Donate $1,030 and VHCF will receive $1,000 and you will be able to request a NAP tax credit for a donation amount of $1,000.
    • The minimum eligible donation value must be met after deducting the online gift processing fee in order for the donor to qualify for NAP tax credits.
  • Mail your contribution, along with a completed VHCF Donation Form, to: Virginia Health Care Foundation, 707 E. Main Street Suite 1350, Richmond, VA 23219
  • Non-cash business donations (stock, merchandise, real estate, leased space, certain professional services) must pre-approved by VHCF and be valued in accordance with NAP and IRS standards.
  • The value of NAP tax credits is computed based on 50% of all donations (up to maximum) received between either July 1 through December 31 OR January 1 through June 30 of each calendar year.
