Monroe Programs Approved For State Tax Credit Support

MONROE, CT — Businesses in Monroe may qualify for state corporate tax credits by donating to three local programs approved under Connecticut’s 2025 Neighborhood Assistance Act.

First Selectman Terrence Rooney announced Friday that Project Warmth, the Monroe Food Pantry and Monroe Emergency Medical Services have been authorized by the state Department of Revenue Services to receive contributions through the program.

The initiative allows businesses to earn a 60 percent credit on approved donations. Project Warmth and the Monroe Food Pantry are eligible for up to $25,000 each, while Monroe Emergency Medical Services can receive up to $20,000. The minimum contribution to qualify is $250.

Project Warmth provides need-based energy assistance, the food pantry offers nutritional support, and the EMS program runs “steady steps,” which aims to reduce falls among residents in their homes.

Businesses seeking the tax credit must file Form NAA-02 with the state between Sept. 15 and Oct. 1, according to officials. The form will be available on the Department of Revenue Services website.
