CT NAA Applications Due October 2
Applications for the 2023 Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program are due Monday, October 2, 2023! This program allows companies that are a C corporation paying taxes to the State of CT to receive a 60% or 100% state tax credit for their donation to Operation Hope. Funding will be used to purchase energy-efficient rehab and upgrades to Operation Hope’s affordable housing units
In last year’s round of the NAA program, we are grateful to Avangrid, Southern CT Gas Company, Santa Energy Corporation, R.C. Bigelow and TXP Services, Inc. for generously contributing to support our organization. As housing units age, Operation Hope experiences rehab costs that need attention. Required updates include roofs, HVAC systems (heating and air conditioning), windows, and energy efficient bulbs and appliances. Each of these items were part of the energy conservation efforts in line with the NAA tax credits received last year, ensuring our housing clients have a safe place to live and a roof over their head.
Companies must submit a brief application to the State between September 15 and October 2, 2023 and make a donation to Operation by December 31, 2023. Complete the NAA-02 application at https://bit.ly/ct-naa-tax-credit-form. Get a tax credit AND support Operation Hope!

Help Support Us with Target Circle
Operation Hope has been selected as a nonprofit partner in the Target Circle Giving Program! Now through September 30, member-shoppers can use the Circle app to cast votes earned from eligible Target purchases towards JumpStart to help us earn a share of their corporate giving.
Target Circle is a loyalty program that gives member-shoppers special savings and perks. To vote, Target Circle members can open the mobile app or log into their account at https://www.target.com/circle. The Giving Program can be accessed under the “Community Support” tab, where users can find the number of available votes they have accumulated and a link to cast their votes. The voting process is ongoing, meaning that the more votes shoppers earn on their Target runs, the more votes they can cast during the campaign.
