Corporations and partnerships may receive the tax credit for outright gifts or planned gifts to the same endowments.

Montana individual taxpayers making qualified gifts may receive a Montana tax credit of 40 percent of the present value of the charitable gift, to a maximum of $10,000.  The tax credit for qualified gifts for corporations is 20 percent if the present value of the contribution to a maximum of $10,000. While a tax deduction serves to reduce the amount of income that is taxed, a tax credit reduces the tax liability itself.  Therefore, every dollar of tax credit reduces one dollar of tax.

Consult with your financial advisor about how to make a gift to the benefit the Archie Bray Foundation and at the same time qualify for the Montana tax credit.

The many friends of the Archie Bray Foundation support the work of the Bray in a variety of ways.  Some donate their time and talents as volunteers.  Others contribute directly to annual operations and special projects.  But none are more important than those who ensure the future of the Bray through a bequest or other deferred gift.

Deferred gifts reflect a belief in the long-term value of the Bray and a commitment to its future.  We are deeply grateful for those that have chosen to benefit the Bray in the way and recognize their commitment with membership in The Bray Society.
