| Dr. David Bridgeman will be
sponsoring the upcoming concert
by Trout Fishing in America and received NIP tax
credits
for his sponsorship donation. | ArtsLink has again been awarded state
tax credits under the Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP)
sponsored by the West Virginia Development Office. According to
Cathy L. Durham, Grant Management Specialist for the Program,
“ArtsLink is offering West Virginia residents NIP Tax Credits for
qualifying gifts made to them. This is an excellent way to support
your favorite charity, and because the program is an actual WV
state tax credit, a $1,000 gift to ArtsLink translates into an
actual $500 out of pocket expense.”The award was in the amount of $2,500
in tax credits. Funds raised through the program will be used to
support ArtsLink programs, with a goal of maintaining current
admission costs, which remain at 2001 levels. Membership dues have
never been increased. According to former West Virginia
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, “There is no simple way to describe the
extent of the work the Neighborhood Investment Tax Credit Program
has facilitated”. The West Virginia Legislature has extended the
Neighborhood Investment Tax Credit Program and maintained the
overall tax credit allocation at $3 million. Under the program,
individuals and businesses that donate at least $500 are eligible
to receive 50 percent of the contributed amount in the form of
state tax credits. Donors may use the credits to reduce liability
for the Corporate Net Income Tax or the Personal Income Tax. “This is an especially appealing
incentive for donors,” ArtsLink President Scarlet Hood remarks. “A
tax credit is an actual dollar amount taken right off the top of
the taxes owed. The donor may also be able claim the entire amount
as a tax-deductible donation on their federal income tax return,
which gives them an additional break. Sponsorships are available
for our 2019-20 Concert Series and other upcoming events.” Tax credits will be issued on a first
come, first served basis. However, credits remaining on March 15
are subject to recapture by the Development Office. More
information about ArtsLink programs and activities and how to
participate is available on the ArtsLink web site,
www.artslinkwv.org, or by calling Donna Earley, administrative
coordinator, at 304-455-2278. |

Members of the ArtsLink Board of Directors recently accepted a
donation from Christine Mitchell, local external affairs
representative for Dominion Resources Services, Inc. ArtsLink, the
arts council for Wetzel and Tyler counties, will use the funding to
support arts programs in the schools.
Dominion and its philanthropic arm, The Dominion Foundation,
annually award about $20 million to causes that protect the
environment, promote education and help meet basic human needs. The
Foundation is dedicated to improving the physical, social and
economic well-being of the communities served by Dominion
companies, which also invest in communities through programs and
volunteer activities.
Mitchell noted that Foundation grants are funded by
shareholder dollars and are not borne by customers. “We are happy
to support ArtsLink, and hope that it can continue to enhance the
teaching of the arts to our local children,” said Mitchell.
For information on ArtsLink’s activities, please call
304-455-2278. Pictured left to right are, Robert
DeFrancis, Carolyn Hizer, Christine Mitchell, Mary Rohrig,
Jane Knight, Miranda Stokes, Scarlet Hood, Brian Rogers, Barbara
