Contributor Eligibility

Who Qualifies to Give?

• Individuals must give a minimum of $500 but may donate as much as $125,000 per year.
• There are no limits for businesses, including sole proprietors.

The Process

• Individuals and businesses seeking to make a donation to an approved scholarship foundation must must first apply for pre-authorization for a specified tax credit amount under the Tax Credit for Low Income Students Scholarship Program. To obtain the digital pre-authorization form, please contact Curtis at curtis@renewanation.org. NOTE: The RENEWANATION office can help you with this entire process if you like. Just contact 540-814-3382.
• As there is a state mandated annual cap of $25 million in credits, tax credits are preauthorized to donors on a first come, first served basis.
• An Approval Letter issued to the donor must accompany the donation from the donor to the RenewaNation Kansas Scholarship Foundation (RKSF).
• The RKSF will promptly electronically return the approval certifying the donor, the amount of the donation, and the date it was received from the donor.
• Once the donation is received and reported by the RVSF, a tax credit certificate will be issued to the individual or business donor to be utilized when filing annual taxes.
• Approval Letters not acted upon by the donor within 180 calendar days of issuance will expire and become void.
