Oklahoma Considers Tax Credit for Nonprofit Donations; Florida Maintains Charitable…
What happened
Oklahoma lawmakers considered a tax credit designed to incentivize businesses to donate money they would otherwise pay in state taxes to nonprofits supporting families. Separately, Florida's Strong Families Tax Credit, introduced in 2021, allows businesses to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against certain taxes for supporting eligible charitable organizations.

Why it matters
The consideration of a state tax credit in Oklahoma could shift state tax policy and encourage corporate donations toward family support services. Florida's existing program allows 36 organizations to receive business contributions eligible for the credit, with the annual cap having grown to $53.1 million.
