Community Contribution Tax Credit Program (CCTCP) 
Picture
​This program provides a financial incentive to encourage Florida businesses to make donations toward community development and housing projects for low-income persons. Any Florida business, which collects and remits Florida state sales tax, pays state income tax, or Florida use tax is eligible to participate in the program. The credit shall be granted as a refund against state taxes, including sales, use, and income tax, reported on returns and remitted in the last 12 months preceding the date of the application of the tax credit.

There are two ways to participate in CCTCP. The first is an upfront commitment to sponsor a specific Habitat Home, called a Deed of Improvement, where your organization will receive a tax credit of 100% of your donation. The donation must equal 50% of the appraised value of the completed home, minus the cost of the land. This option requires 200 volunteer hours to be performed by your organization on work for the home and your organization will be recognized at the Home Dedication Ceremony.

The second way to participate in CCTCP is to make a donation, greater than $20,000, to Habitat PBC’s new home construction projects. Your organization is then able to receive a tax credit equal to 50% of your donation amount. This option does not require volunteer service hours, but we are happy to arrange a Team Build opportunity for your organization if that is of interest.

​Habitat PBC will work with you throughout the entire process to make it as simple as possible.
