YOP

Guardian Angel was awarded Youth Opportunity Program (YOP) tax credits to support our Early Childhood Education program. Administered by the state, YOP tax credits help to attract eligible donors who want to redirect their Missouri tax dollars to an approved community services project.

What are the benefits of YOP tax credits?

Guardian Angel will receive the full benefit of your donation, while your tax liability may be significantly reduced. The credit amount is equal to 50% of your donation. Credits allow you to save on both your federal and state taxes.

YOP Tax Credits are available for donations over $500 to Guardian Angel. These credits are available to any individual or business with a Missouri tax liability. The tax credit is eligible for the year of the donation plus 5 succeeding years.
