Indiana Foster Care Donation Tax Credit

Double Your Impact for Children and Families

Your gift can go twice as far to help Indiana’s children in foster care!

Through the Indiana Foster Care Donation Tax Credit, individuals and businesses with Indiana state tax liability can receive a 50% tax credit – up to $10,000 per year – for approved donations made to The Villages of Indiana.

That means a $20,000 gift could provide $10,000 in direct tax savings, while helping children and families thrive.

DOR: Foster Care Donation Tax Credit – Includes up-to-date information on remaining credits.
