E-Community Partnership

The E-Community Partnership has grown from 6 communities in 2007 to 60 in 2017. More than $15.4 million has been loaned to over 480 businesses leveraging an additional $75 million of additional capital (bank loans, owner down payment, resource partner loans, etc.).

Donors receive a 75% Kansas state income tax credit for their donation. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit against income tax liability. For every $1,000 donated, donors will receive a $750 state income tax credit. Donors may also be eligible for a federal deduction if they are able to itemize on their tax return. The minimum donation amount per year is $250 and the maximum is $66,667 (yielding between a $187.50 and $50,000 tax credit respectively.)
