LC 4176 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Provide income tax credits for contributions to a community improvement organization

This bill creates an income tax credit for Montana taxpayers who donate cash to qualifying community improvement organizations. Taxpayers can claim a credit equal to 10% of their Montana taxable income or $3,000 (whichever is lower), with a total annual limit of $2 million in 2026 and $5 million in 2027 onward. The credit can be carried forward up to three years if not fully used in the donation year. To qualify, organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits focused on public facilities (not including those with paid staff), and donations cannot overlap with existing charitable deduction benefits.
