Giving through the Community Investment Tax Credit Program
Community Investment Tax Credits help St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center raise critical funds that support our community with housing and programs that impact the trajectory of the lives of hundreds of individuals every year. They also significantly reduce the out-of-pocket cost of your donation.
Through the state of Maryland’s Community Investment Tax Credits program, donations of $500 or more to St. Ambrose are eligible to earn tax credits equal to 50% of the value of the donation.
Currently, all CITC-eligible donations will go towards St. Ambrose’s Capital Improvement III project or our Everyone Has a Place to Call Home project (more information on these projects is listed below.
How to make a Community Investment Tax Credit eligible gift:
To be eligible for tax credits, please fill out the Donor Acknowledgement section of the CITC Donor Acknowledgement Form 2024 and send it to Julia Mulliganiel before or at the same time of the donation.

Project descriptions:
Capital Improvements III: Capital improvements will allow St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center to continue to meet the needs of our staff and clients by providing a safe, secure and professional public space and to reduce maintenance and operating costs for the organization. Like the prospective and current homeowners that we teach, we practice energy efficiency and are always looking for ways to improve our bottom line.
Your tax credit-eligible gift will ensure that St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center can continue to serve the Baltimore community for years to come.
When people turn to St. Ambrose, your generosity ensures that we’re able to provide for them. Whether it’s preparing someone to buy their first home, making it possible for an aging homeowner to continue to live in the neighborhood they know and love, or helping one generation care for the next, your support will change lives.
Everyone Has a Place to Call Home: An 18 year old experiencing homelessness, an older neighbor who cannot afford to fix a leaking roof, a single-mother facing eviction – these are the clients our staff support every day. When housing is stabilized, the impacts lasts generations.
Funds raised towards this project will support for difficult to fund areas of our budget, which are salaries/benefits for our administrative and leadership staff. This critical part of organizational expense is often ineligible for funding through other sources. These members of our team are integral in long-range strategic planning, building partnerships, fundraising, communications, and maintaining a talented team.
Funds raised will be a significant investment in our organizational stability, as well as human capital development to lead the organization in the future. This investment will pay dividends in the long run, enabling St. Ambrose to innovate and provide high-quality services to the low to moderate income families we serve.
