Join Kansas City companies in helping local families break the cycle of poverty.

What are Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) Credits?
The Grooming Project has been approved by the Missouri Department of Economic Development, from now until 9/30/2022, to participate in the NAP Tax Credit program. This allows eligible donors to contribute to The Grooming Project while receiving a tax credit equal to 50% of their donation to be used toward their Missouri state taxes.
The Grooming Project has been awarded $123,000 in state tax credits, and they will go quickly. The tax credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Claim yours soon!
