Colorado Child Care Tax Credit
The Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit was established to encourage greater private support of Colorado child care programs, like those provided by the Colorado Open Golf Foundation. Because monetary contributions to our youth programs qualify for this tax credit, you may be able to decrease the after-tax cost of your gifts by more than 50 percent.

The effect of the credit is that half of your donation to the Colorado Open Golf Foundation is offset by a reduction of your Colorado income taxes. You will still be able to claim your full contribution as a charitable deduction on your Federal and State income tax returns if you itemize deductions. Examples of the total impact on your taxes are show in the chart below. As always, you should consult with your tax advisor to determine how the credit will affect you personally.
