Read below to find out more!

A small investment can provide big returns thanks to a unique tax credit available through the end of the year. Colorado taxpayers can make a cash donation to a qualified child care provider like Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County and earn a state tax refund equal to 50% of the amount donated.

Why is Colorado doing this? Lawmakers know that every $1 invested on early childhood programs returns more than $8 in benefits to society. Taxpayers and government working together can provide a leveraged benefit to early childhood development resulting in: 

• Increased academic performance and achievement
• Increased likelihood of completing high school and of attaining a higher degree/certification

While also: 

• Decreasing dependence on public services later in life
• Decreasing criminal involvement

The Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit (CCCCC) program, instituted in 1999, provides a 50 percent state tax credit AND a state and federal tax deduction for any contribution made to a qualifying child care organization or fund. Boys & Girls Club of Fremont County is a qualifying organization! This is a Colorado state income tax credit equal to 50% of your donation up to $100,000. Our club sends the completed Form DR 1317, necessary for your tax preparer, to you at the end of the year.
