Alaya Preschool is a qualified childcare facility for the State of Colorado, which means that your donation up to $200,000, qualifies for a 50% Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit (CCCC). This credit was established to incentivize monetary contributions which. promote child care in Colorado.
Any Colorado taxpayer that makes a qualifying contribution can claim the child care contribution credit. Resident and nonresident individuals, estates, trusts, and C corporations can all claim the credit for qualifying contributions.
This CCCC is unrelated to child care credits which families claim for child care expenses they pay during the tax year and claiming the CCCC will not affect your deductions for child care expenses.
The CCCC is currently approved for gifts made up to December 31, 2025.
