Mississippi is incentivizing philanthropy, encouraging charitable giving, and building on the strong tradition of neighbors helping neighbors in our state through the Endow Mississippi Tax Credit Program. Endow Mississippi provides a 25% tax credit to donors who give to permanent endowments at qualified community foundations.

Donors who give from a minimum of $1000 ($250 state tax credit) to a maximum of $200,000 ($50,000 state tax credit) to an endowment at a qualified community foundation are eligible for the credit.

A total of $500,000 of tax credits are available annually. Contact your community foundation as soon as possible to find out if there are credits available in your area and for information about qualifying endowments.
