Community Contribution Tax Credit Program

Program Overview

The Community Contribution Tax Credit Program (CCTCP), administered by FloridaCommerce (State of Florida Department of Commerce), provides a financial incentive to encourage Florida businesses to make donations toward community development and housing projects for low-income persons.

Businesses located anywhere in Florida that make donations to approved community development projects may receive a tax credit of up to 50% of the value of the donation. Businesses may take the credit on Florida corporate income tax, insurance premium tax, or as a refund against sales tax if the business is registered to collect and remit sales taxes with the Department of Revenue (DOR).

To view eligibility requirements or apply for the Community Contribution Tax Credit Program, visit the FloridaCommerce website.

To have your project reviewed by FloridaCommerce staff, email communitycontributiontaxcreditprogram@commerce.fl.gov.

As part of FloridaCommerce's application, you will need a Resolution of Support from the City of Orlando certifying the project is consistent with local plans and regulations. To request a resolution, please contact economicdevelopment@orlando.gov. The City requires at least a 30 days notice for all requests in order to present before City Council.
