Make a bigger difference for Missouri teens at a lower cost to your business with Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) Tax Credits 

Wyman has been awarded a limited allocation of Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits to support Wyman Leaders, a college access and leadership development program that helps young people build confidence, strengthen life skills, and prepare for success after high school. 

By making a qualifying donation, you not only save money on your taxes, but you are helping Wyman connect teens to their voices, their strengths, and their futures through proven programs and supports.

Why make an NAP gift? 

A qualifying gift to Wyman may provide: 

  • A 50% Missouri state tax credit on your donation* 
  • A federal charitable income tax deduction if you itemize* 
  • The opportunity to redirect tax dollars to help local young people thrive 
  • Support for a proven leadership and educational and career success program 
  • A meaningful way for your business to invest in the future workforce of our region 

Who qualifies? 

Qualified NAP donors include:

  • Businesses
  • Individuals with business income, including but not limited to individuals with rental property, farm operations, shareholders in an S-corporation, and members of an LLC

Businesses with Missouri tax liability and individuals with Missouri business income may be eligible to receive NAP tax credits if:

  • Donor is increasing their annual gift to Wyman or donating to Wyman for the first time
  • Donation amount is generally $1,000 or more
  • Donation is made via check, credit card, or stocks.

Tax credits are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

NAP tax credits are a powerful way for eligible businesses and business-income donors to make a larger philanthropic investment while reducing Missouri tax liability. For donors who qualify, NAP can help turn a gift to Wyman into both immediate community impact and a smart charitable giving strategy.
