The Indiana state government recently passed the Attainable Homeownership Tax Credit, a $4 million program designed to incentivize individuals and businesses to contribute to Habitat affiliates. This program is a significant recognition of the growing need for more affordable homeownership options in our community.   

When you donate to Habitat, you can receive a tax credit worth 50% of your donation, up to $10,000 in tax credits. This means that a donation of $2,000 could result in a $1,000 tax credit for you or your small business.   Claim your credits here.

As you plan for your future and reflect on the legacy you will leave behind, consider making a planned gift to strengthen local families and communities. There are several ways you can support Habitat through a planned gift.

If you’re 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, you can make a meaningful difference for Habitat families by donating directly from your IRA. This type of gift—called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income. For IRA holders age 72 or older, taking an RMD is required each year. If you don’t take it, you may face additional taxes. If you do, the funds are typically taxed. When you give directly to Habitat, you avoid those taxes and help build safe, affordable homes for families who need it most. Click here to learn more and get started.
