Lutheran Child and Family Services is proud to announce our participation in the Indiana Foster Care Tax Credit! In 2021, the state of Indiana passed the Foster Care Tax Credit. This means that every calendar year there will be $2,000,000 available for the purpose of donation to an approved Foster Care Organization. This will be in place until December 31, 2027. The maximum amount of credit that can be granted is 50% of the donation up to $10,000. This is for all donations to one or multiple approved foster care organizations during any one calendar year.
