Eligible providers shall be organizations that provide funding for the unmet health, hunger, and hygiene needs of children in school. The tax credit shall be in an amount of fifty percent of the value of the contribution.

An eligible provider may submit an application for the tax credit to the Department of Social Services on behalf of a taxpayer, as described in the act.
