Would a bank get credit for making a donation to a school fund raising for renovation of school equipment, purchase shool uniforms for the school baseball team? etc. This is a school where students come from mid/low income areas.

Is the school Low/Mod? In other words does the population of the school greater than 51% low/mod? If it is, you could get credit for making donations to the school.

It may qualify as supporting Youth Programs but the activity needs to be located in a Low/Moderate area and benefit Low/Moderate income individuals.

At my former bank we were able to get credit for a school grant by showing the lunch program statistics which demonstrated that the majority of students were from low/mod families.

Check the new Community Development qualifications which now apply to all size institutions.

IMO they are more restrictive and some of what used to qualify may no longer.
