Companies & additional gifts
Giving as a company, or giving more?
Corporations and businesses can get started now and help fund our gap scholarships.
Corporate gifts and gifts above the federal credit limit are standard charitable donations. They are used for gap scholarships, including college assistance (which the federal credit cannot cover), and for any additional education needs that fall outside the qualifying federal credit requirements.
There is no cap on corporate giving. Ask your tax advisor how it applies to you.
