inexcelsis Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — EIN 84-4181227. NAP Project #2025-250896, authorized by the Missouri Department of Economic Development. Allocated through June 30, 2026.
WHAT IT COSTS YOU
A $10,000 gift. About 29 cents on the dollar.
Here is how a NAP-eligible gift works for two typical individual donors with Missouri business income. Your federal benefit depends on your tax bracket and filing situation; your CPA can confirm your exact net cost.
MIDDLE-BRACKET DONOR (24% FEDERAL)
Your gift to inExcelsis
$10,000
Missouri NAP tax credit (50%)
– $5,000
Federal charitable deduction (24% X $5,000 net contribution)*
– $1,200
Missouri State deduction (4.7% X $5,000 net contribution)
– $235
Your approximate net cost
$3,565
About 36 cents on the dollar.
HIGH-BRACKET DONOR (37% FEDERAL)
Your gift to inExcelsis
$10,000
Missouri NAP tax credit (50%)
– $5,000
Federal charitable deduction (24% X $5,000 net contribution)*
– $1,850
Missouri State deduction (4.7% X $5,000 net contribution)
– $235
Your approximate net cost
$2,915
About 29 cents on the dollar.
Both calculations assume the donor itemizes deductions on their federal return and applies the IRS rule for state tax credit programs. They also use Missouri’s current top individual income tax rate of 4.7% (tax year 2025, filed in 2026). Your CPA can run your exact numbers.
A $5,000 gift → roughly $1,800–$1,450 net cost. A $25,000 gift → roughly $8,900–$7,300 net cost. A $50,000 gift → roughly $17,800–$14,600 net cost. (Higher number = 24% federal bracket; lower number = 37% federal bracket.)
Illustrations are for individual donors with Missouri business income who itemize federal deductions, applying IRS Treasury Reg. §1.170A-1(h)(3). These are estimates, not tax advice. Actual benefit depends on your specific federal bracket, your Missouri tax position, total itemized deductions, the state-and-local-tax (SALT) cap, alternative minimum tax (AMT), and whether you itemize. C-corporation donors making qualified business contributions may follow a different federal treatment under IRC §162; ask your CPA. Your tax professional can confirm your exact net cost.
