The Community Foundations Bill
Missouri bill offers tax credits for donations to community foundations
Establishes the "Missouri Gives Tax Credit Act", authorizing tax credits for certain contributions to permanent endowment funds held by qualified community foundations
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let donors lower their state taxes by giving money to community foundation endowments.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Supporters claim the credit will grow community endowments and help local projects, but everyday Missourians will lose tax dollars that could fund schools, roads, and other services.
