Tax Credits Available Through the Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax credits are still available for qualified donations through the Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA). The program encourages businesses and individuals who pay Delaware state income taxes to invest in programs serving impoverished neighborhoods or serving low- and moderate-income families. Donations to three of Catholic Charities programs will qualify a donor for 2020 tax credits: Basic Needs, Bayard House, and Casa San Francisco. Donors must meet the minimum contribution amounts: $2,500 for individuals, and $10,000 for business. In exchange for a qualified contribution, the NAA provides state tax credits equal to 50% of the investment. Credits are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information on the NAA Program, please call the Catholic Charities Community Relations office at 302-655-9634.
