Neighborhood Assistance Program

(NAP) – State Tax Credit

The Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) was created by the 1981 Virginia General Assembly. State tax credits are available to encourage donors to contribute directly to qualified non-profit agencies, such as the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. In addition to the state credit, the donor may also claim the charitable donation on federal taxes to the extent allowed by law.

The Food Bank applies annually and is awarded allocations based on proven operational success and on our capacity to serve impoverished people. Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are out of NAP credits for the 2025 NAP season that began July 1, 2025.
