State Tax Credits Available When You Support Adams Club Adventure Oasis
Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka (BGCT) is pleased to announce they have received $162,000.00 in Community Service Program (CSP) Tax Credits through the Kansas Department of Commerce. The available tax credits will be used to enhance fundraising efforts for The Adams Clubs Adventure Oasis, a transformative revitalization initiative by BGCT to reimagine outdoor spaces at the Adams Club into a vibrant, nature-rich sanctuary for kids. Designed to foster exploration, movement, and connection, this innovative project combines adventure play zones, shaded gathering areas, and inclusive recreation features that reflect the energy, curiosity, and potential of the children it serves. More than a playground, the Adventure Oasis is a bold investment in youth wellbeing—igniting imagination, promoting healthy lifestyles, and creating a safe, joyful space where every child can grow, dream, and thrive.
CSP is a popular program for Kansas nonprofits and public healthcare entities taking on major capital campaigns for projects involving children and family services, non-governmental crime prevention, youth apprenticeship and youth technical training and health care. Awarded nonprofits were chosen through a competitive application process. State tax credits reduce the total amount of taxes owed to the state. They are a way for taxpayers to substantially reduce the cost of contributing to Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka .
“Being awarded the Kansas tax credits is a game-changer for the Adventure Oasis Project. These credits unlock new opportunities for donors to invest in a bold vision for our kids—transforming underutilized outdoor space into a dynamic, safe, and inspiring environment where imagination and wellness take root. This support accelerates our ability to build a place where every child feels empowered to explore, connect, and grow.”
— Dawn McWilliams, CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka
Businesses and individuals subject to Kansas income tax are eligible to receive a tax credit through this program. Donors giving at least $250 to Adams Club Adventure Oasis may qualify for a 50% tax credit. For example, a donor making a $1,000 gift receives a $500 tax credit when they file their state taxes, making the net cost to the donor only $500.
“CSP amplifies the mission of awarded community service organizations and their projects by encouraging donations through the benefit of state tax credits,” said Matt Godinez, Assistant Secretary of Quality Places. “When you donate to an awarded CSP project, you have the opportunity to support a project and receive a state tax credit to reduce your taxable income.”
Tax credits go fast—don’t miss this opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of kids today and for generations to come. There has never been a more important time to invest in youth development, wellness, and the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs.
