Donations

The Volunteer Centers of Michigan is an affiliate of Michigan Nonprofit Association, a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization and is supported by the ConnectMichigan Alliance endowment.

Your donations to Volunteer Centers of Michigan or to Michigan Nonprofit Association qualify for tax deductions under IRS determination. Donations to the ConnectMichigan Alliance endowment may also qualify you for a tax credit under Michigan law.

• Local Volunteer Centers that are VCM members all have 501(c)(3) status as charitable organizations, because of their mission of public benefit and service.

• Your donations to a Volunteer Center qualify for tax deductions under IRS determination.

• Many Volunteer Centers have received Michigan’s Volunteer Investment Grants to build their capacity as community volunteer resource centers. These are state government challenge grants administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Each qualifying Volunteer Center deposits funding raised locally into permanent endowments in their Community Foundation. These are matched as operation grants by the Volunteer Investment Grants program.

  Call your Volunteer Center to determine if they participated in the Michigan’s Volunteer Investment Grant program. If the Volunteer Center has a permanent endowment in a community foundation, your donation to the designated endowment may qualify for a Michigan tax credit, as well as federal tax deductions.
