For Employers: Benefit from the Special State Tax Credit Benefit

Mississippi’s Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013 allows all Mississippians (individuals and businesses) to make a donation to an approved Pre-K Collaborative and receive a full state tax credit.

More about The State Tax Credit
  • Individuals or corporations who make a contribution to support the local matching fund of an approved early learning collaborative may be eligible to receive a state tax credit for the donated amount up to $1 million.
  • The Mississippi Department of Revenue can approve 1:1 tax credits up to the amount the legislature appropriates to the Early Learning Collaborative Act each year. For the fiscal year 2020, the legislature appropriated $7.79 million; therefore, the sum of the donations in this calendar year eligible for the tax credit may not exceed $7.79 million.

For more information and specifics about the tax credit, follow these links.
