Your gift goes further than you think.
ECA is a non-profit, and Colorado gives a 50% state tax credit for donations to qualified child care providers like us. Combined with a charitable deduction, a gift can cost you far less than its face value.
Online giving is coming back soon. To give now, contact Lauren Anderson at [email protected] or call or text 720-831-2262.
How the 50% credit works
Colorado offers a 50% state tax credit for donations to qualified child care providers, including Evergreen Christian Academy (see Colorado Department of Revenue publication Income 35: Child Care Contribution Credit).
Because ECA is a tax-exempt non-profit under IRC 501(c), your donation should qualify for both the 50% state credit and a charitable deduction, if you have enough Colorado and federal taxable income.
The credit applies to donations used by the school. It can't be used to offset your own tuition or child care costs.
After you donate, ECA will send you the tax form you need.
- Your donation
- $500
- Colorado 50% tax credit
- –$250
- Charitable deduction value (28.4%)
- –$142
This example assumes a 24% federal rate plus the 4.4% Colorado rate (28.4% combined). Your rate depends on your income. Please talk to a tax advisor about your eligibility for the credit and deduction.
