Ascend Mentoring Needs Business Partners
Ascend Mentoring is in need of business partners for the 2015 Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act. The partnership consists of the following:
- Ascend Mentoring is a community based non-profit that has been accepted in the program as an organization that can receive contributions from businesses that qualify for a tax credit to that business.
- The Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program is designed to provide funding for municipal and tax exempt organizations by providing a corporation business tax credit for businesses who make cash contributions to these entities.
- Ascend is now in its 3rd year of operations and looking to continue to serve youth and families. With a small budget of $140k any business contribution would have a major impact on the continuation and growth of our organization.
- These partnership would be publicized on a major scale through different media channels which will have a positive effect on the contributing organization’s public relations and reputation.
- The NAA allows for contributions as small as $250 – $150k.
- Ascend Mentoring is looking for at least 5 partners that can contribute $10k or more that would go to help run programs for youth and families. Business with higher tax obligations would benefit by giving higher contributions.
- We are a small organization with major impact so you can be guaranteed that your money is being used to change lives and not just overhead and administrative costs.
- For more info on what we do, please click here www.ascendmentoring.org.
- The application to become a contributing organization is due October 1 and has been attached to this email. The contribution can be made any time before December 31, 2015.
