How does it work?

    1. Make a donation of at least $1,000 online.

      • You can also write a check to ACDC. Funds must be received by December 31, so we advise mailing your check at least two weeks in advance to account for USPS delays. You are also welcome to email [email protected] to schedule a time to drop off your check. 

      • You can choose to make your CITC donation in installments by emailing us and reserving your credits through a pledge. Your full donation must be received by December 31.

    2. ACDC creates an online account to request your tax credit certificate, and you will receive an email to log in.

    3. Fill out a quick and easy online form. Click here for a walkthrough.

    4. The state will email you when your certificate is ready to download. Be sure to check your spam folder.

And that's it! Just 4 easy steps.


If you are not an MA resident, there's a simple form you submit after you complete the online application. Feel free to email [email protected], and we will be happy to assist you.
