Title 1 funds have been the primary funding source for Literacy Camp. ASDB did not receive Title 1 funds this year which, unfortunately, has made it necessary to cancel the camp for this summer. Although some Trust Funds were allocated, they are not nearly enough to cover the full cost of running this type of program. We are hopeful to get the necessary funding next year so Literacy Camp can once again be offered.
“For contributions made after December 31 but on or before April 15, the taxpayer has the option to claim the tax credit in either the previous tax year or in the year the contribution was made. The allowable amount is $400 for married filing joint filers and $200 for all other filing statuses.”
“A tax credit is something that directly reduces how much tax you owe. A donation is a tax deduction, this is something that reduces how much taxable income you claim. If you would like to make a donation to a program not mentioned above it will be treated as a donation not a state tax credit donation.”
