There’s never been a better time to support mothers and babies in our community. The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) is now officially eligible for Louisiana’s Maternal Wellness Center Tax Credit, a new initiative offering generous financial benefits to individuals and businesses who invest in maternal health services.
This state income tax credit of 50% applies to any donation made to an approved center like WRC. That means when you give, half your donation comes back to you at tax time—while the full amount goes to support life-changing services for women and families in need.
“This program is a blessing,” says Nicole Woods, Director of WRC. “It allows community members to make a powerful impact on local families while receiving meaningful tax relief. Everyone wins—especially the moms and babies we serve.”
To help explore the financial and community benefits of this new tax credit, WRC Director Nicole Woods recently met with Rodney Boswell of The IHS Group in Natchitoches, a firm that provides insurance and financial services to individuals and small businesses. “Rodney’s insights on how local donors—both individuals and companies—can strategically take advantage of this credit were incredibly helpful,” Woods shared. “We’re excited to work with local professionals to ensure that this opportunity is well understood and widely utilized.”
The Women’s Resource Center has been a trusted nonprofit in Natchitoches for over 30 years. As a Christ-centered ministry, WRC provides free pregnancy testing, counseling, parenting classes, material support, and referrals. In 2024 alone, the Center served women from 10 different parishes, walking with each client in compassion, truth, and grace.
Key Highlights of the New Tax Credit:
- 50% Louisiana state income tax credit for donations to WRC
- Available to both individuals and businesses
- No cap on donation size (statewide credit pool applies—act early)
- Easy and secure ways to give via http://www.wrcnatchitoches.org
The funds raised will help expand parenting education programs, provide critical baby items, and ensure every woman who walks through WRC’s doors receives the care and support she needs.
Donors are encouraged to consult their tax advisor to understand how to claim the credit and maximize their giving potential.
“By participating in this program, you’re not just giving to a cause—you’re helping transform lives,” says Woods. “We invite you to partner with us as we continue to equip parents and empower families in Jesus’ name.”
