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 Addressing Maryland’s Severe Housing Affordability Crisis project (more information on this project 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 2026 and send it to Julia Mulliganiel before you make your donation.

Addressing Maryland’s Severe Housing Affordability Crisis: An 18 year old experiencing homelessness, an older neighbor who cannot afford to fix a leaking roof, a single-mother facing foreclosure – these are the clients our staff support every day. When housing is stabilized, the impacts lasts for generations. This project reduces barriers to homeownership, increases affordable rental opportunities, supports intergenerational wealth transfer, and increases the availability of affordable homes in Baltimore neighborhoods.
Funds raised towards this project will be used to support difficult to fund areas of our budget, such as salaries/benefits for our administrative, finance, 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.
