Wishing you a bright and meaningful Kwanzaa

Happy Kwanzaa! Today is the first day of Kwanzaa, an annual celebration of African American culture. During the week of Kwanzaa, families and communities come together to share a meal, honor the ancestors, affirm the bonds, and celebrate our culture. Each day - for seven days - we light a candle and reflect on a different Kwanzaa principle.
1. Umoja (Unity)
2. Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
3. Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
4. Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
5. Nia (Purpose)
6. Kuumba (Creativity)
7. Imani (Faith)

** Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Credits
------------------------------------------------------------
Girls For A Change is an approved non-profit organization for the 2024-2025
Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP). For a minimum gift of $500, an individual donor may be eligible to receive a 65% tax credit against his or her Virginia state income tax. The maximum allowable individual gift is $125,000. For businesses: $616 is the minimum donation eligible for tax credits in their taxable year. There is no maximum donation limitation for businesses.

Unlike a tax deduction, a tax credit reduces a donor’s tax bill dollar-for-dollar. For example, a $2,000 donation to Girls For A Change using this program would generate $1,300 in tax credits, so the donation would only “cost” the donor $700. When the tax credits are combined with the federal charitable deduction, the donation “cost” lowers even further.

To learn how to make a NAP Tax credit gift, please email Dani Brown at [email protected] or call (804) 405-2827
Please consult your financial advisor before making a donation, as we are not authorized to offer tax advice.
