Montana Endowment Tax Credit

 

History

Originally enacted in 1997 as the Montana Income Tax Credit for Endowed Philanthropy, it encourages charitable giving to qualified endowments by offering incentives to Montana taxpayers. It expires December 31, 2026.

 

How it Works

The Montana Endowment Tax Credit allows donors to pay less in Montana state income taxes when they give a qualifying planned gift to a qualified Montana charitable endowment like one of the West Yellowstone Foundation’s permanent endowment funds or any of the nonprofit endowment funds held by the Community Foundation.  We would be pleased to connect you with our experts on Deferred Gift Annuities.
