- Why should I encourage my clients to give through the Tax
Checkoff?
Tax Checkoff
is a simple way to make a difference for our state. A gift will
mean expansion of services for Colorado's families, children
and disabled citizens; conservation of wildlife and wetlands;
and increased protection for domestic animals. The 10 organizations
listed are all private nonprofit charities or compelling causes
within public agencies. In today's world of scarce resources
and rising needs, Colorado charities see the Tax Checkoff as
a cost effective way to raise needed funds.
- How does a taxpayer make a gift?
Taxpayers can give
to some or all of these
charitable causes by simply indicating that on their tax returns.
The gift can either be from a tax refund or can be added to
the taxpayer's payment. Gifts are voluntary contributions, not
designations of tax dollars.
- How are organizations selected to participate in the Checkoff?
To be listed on Colorado's Tax Checkoff,
each organization has come through a rigorous legislative process
and has been approved by the Colorado State Legislature. Each
organization is listed as a participant by state statute. Particpation
in the Tax Checkoff is often limited to three years before an
organization comes before the legislature for renewal.
