[Garden City, KS] October 27, 2025 -- Garden City Community College (GCCC), a cornerstone of southwest Kansas, contributes $124.5 million in added income to the region each year. GCCC graduates continue to make a significant impact, earning an average of $17,500 more annually than those with only a high school diploma.
To continue building on this success, GCCC invites individuals and businesses to participate in the 2025 Kansas Community College Tax Credit Program, a unique opportunity to support local education while receiving substantial tax benefits.
The Kansas Department of Revenue has awarded $500,000 in state tax credits to GCCC for the 2025 tax year. These credits are available to donors with Kansas tax liability, providing a 60% state income tax credit for contributions of $1,000 or more. (Note: The credit is non-refundable.)
Example of the Tax Credit Advantage:
- Contribution to GCCC: $10,000
- Kansas State Tax Credit (60%): $6,000
- Estimated Federal Tax Savings: $960
- Net Cost to Donor: $3,040
Funds raised through this program will support key projects such as the new Construction and Electrical Technology Training Center, along with other college initiatives that strengthen academic programs and expand workforce development in southwest Kansas.
Interested donors can learn more or purchase tax credits by contacting Scott Kedrowski, Dean of Advancement and Alumni Relations at (620) 276-9572 or scott.kedrowski@gcccks.edu.
