Ways to Support GRASP
1. Contribute Online:
About State Tax Credits
Neighborhood Assistance Program Tax Credits
Gifts of $500 or more may qualify for Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) Tax Credits for up to 65% of the donation. GRASP receives a new allocation of tax credits on July 1 of each year. Millie Manley will be happy to assist you with questions regarding current availability of tax credits. Millie can be reached at (804) 527-7726 or mmanley@grasp4va.org.
Educational Improvement Scholarship Program Tax Credits
Provides state tax credits for persons or businesses making monetary or marketable securities donations to foundations that provide scholarships to eligible students and children attending eligible preK-12 private schools and eligible nonpublic pre-kindergarten programs. While all low-income students are eligible for assistance under the GRASP program, we have a special interest in students with disabilities as those students not only have to overcome poverty but often have learning disabilities requiring additional educational support. Qualified personal or business donations may be eligible for a 65% Virginia income tax credit. Please consult your tax professional.
2. Contribute by Mail
Please make checks payable to GRASP. You may mail your gift to:
2821 Emerywood Parkway, Suite 204

Your gifts can honor, celebrate, or memorialize a loved one. Please designate the name of the honoree and address to which a recognition card should be sent should you desire this recognition.
