These organizations then distribute the vouchers to businesses and individuals who contribute to the organizations. By donating to approved NIP organizations, contributors can support their communities and earn credits to reduce certain West Virginia taxes.
Contributions can be in the form of cash, personal property, real property, and stock.
Some professional in-kind services are also eligible, but the restrictions on this type of donation are very strict. Applicants are screened and evaluated on a number of criteria and must be approved by the NIP Advisory Board. The application deadline for Fiscal Year 2001 applications is May 19, 2000. All applications must be postmarked no later than May 19, 2000. Applications may be obtained from this website or at the workshops listed below.
