2014 Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) Pre-Award Training Presentation

What is NAP? NAP is a program of the State of Indiana in which tax credits are distributed to eligible non profits for sale as a fundraising and capacity building tool.

NAP receives $2.5 million in tax credits annually, to be distributed to eligible non-profits. NAP Credits are redeemable at a 50% rate. (So a donation of $100 buys a tax credit worth $50.)
