The CAN Council continues to grow, while providing innovative education and public awareness programs to realize the end of child abuse in Saginaw County. As our programs and services grow, it is very important for the CAN Council to ensure the legacy of the organization's mission. For this reason, we have established our endowment program administered through the Saginaw Community Foundation.

Your gift to the CAN Council not only helps the organization, but you receive an added benefit. As a donor to the CAN Council Endowment Program, you can reduce your Michigan income tax liability by up to one-half the amount of a donation, up to certain limits. Your donation, of course, is also deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit provides a:

• $200 credit for a $400 gift from a couple filing a joint return
  
• $100 credit for a $200 gift from a single taxpayer

Please note that the Community Foundation Tax Credit is in addition to the tax credits available for gifts to colleges and universities, public broadcasting and for gifts to soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Donors do not have to choose between the tax credits; you can take advantage of both.
