The disappearance of Michigan's Community Foundation Tax Credit

The State of Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit was abolished by Gov. Rick Snyder at the end of December 2011. Originally signed into law Dec. 29, 1988, the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit was designed to encourage individuals and businesses to build the permanent endowments of community foundations across the state. This tax credit was intended to bring additional dollars to communities by generating new donors and encouraging more permanent endowment support rather than tempting donors to shift their dollars from other organizations.
