Wareham Hall, the nonprofit fundraising arm tasked with the renovation of the Wareham Opera House, has been awarded $115,400 in Community Service Program tax credits.
The funds are from a larger initiative, led by Gov. Laura Kelly, that distributed $4.1 million in CSP tax credits to 36 nonprofit agencies in Kansas. In a statement this week, Board President Blade Mages says the award “recognizes the crucial role that arts and culture play in enhancing the community’s qualify of life and enriching shared experiences.”
The tax credits provide a substantial deduction from tax tax obligations for donors. Wareham Hall has successfully secured matching donations to maximize the awarded tax credits and no longer requires further matching donations to utilize those credits.
Earlier this year, Wareham Hall was also awarded $250,000 from the State Park Revitalization and Investment in Noble Tourism (SPRINT) program.
