Historic Preservation Tax Credits •Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit and the Mills Act program provide financial relief in the form of a credit on property taxes to property owners who are actively rehabilitating, restoring, or otherwise preserving qualified historic properties. •Aldersly is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization. It is therefore not eligible to apply for or collect a historic preservation tax credit because it does not pay property taxes. •Non-profit organizations are sometimes able to form partnerships with for-profit organizations that could benefit from the tax credit. This would require restructuring the Aldersly organization or partnering with an existing for-profit organization with interest in claiming the tax credit.
