Originally
signed into law December 29, 1988, the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit
was designed to encourage individuals and businesses to build the permanent
endowments of community foundations across the state. In the ensuing years, the
tax credit has been a significant tool in the development of community
foundations and permanent community endowments. Michigan community foundation
assets have grown from $300 million in 1989 to over $2.5 billion in 2008. The
growth of endowments covering the state has also enabled grantmaking by
community foundations to increase from $1.7 million in 1989 to more than $130
million in 2008.
