WHO
Tax credits are available for qualified individual taxpayers, small businesses, or corporations in Indiana that donate to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana.
WHAT
Starting in 2024, these tax credits can be used to offset individual income or business taxes in the year the donation is made. Eligible donations can be checks and credit cards, land, stocks and bonds, or cryptocurrency.

The minimum donation is $1,000 for $500 in tax credits, and the maximum is $20,000 for $10,000 in tax credits.
