Colorado Child Care Tax Credit

Get 50% back on your donation to Sophia Montessori Academy

By giving to Sophia Montessori Academy, you can claim an income tax credit equal to 50% of your qualifying monetary contribution on your Colorado state income tax return. You may also be able to deduct the full donation amount from your federal taxable income, potentially resulting in further tax savings. The maximum credit allowed per tax year is $100,000.

Qualifying Contributions:

Monetary: Contributions must be made in U.S. currency, such as cash, check, or electronic transfers. Donations of appreciated assets (like stock) or contributions from donor-advised funds are not eligible.

To a Qualifying Child Care Facility or Program: This includes licensed facilities, unlicensed programs registered with the Department of Revenue, or grandfathered programs (those that qualified before 2004). Sophia Montessori Academy is a qualified program.

Used to Promote Child Care for Children 12 Years of Age and Younger: By supporting Sophia Montessori Academy you are meeting this qualification.

Certified by the Recipient: Sophia Montessori Academy will provide you with a completed form DR 1317, Child Care Contribution Credit Certificate, to substantiate the donation for tax purposes.

Your gift to Sophia Montessori Academy opens the door to Catholic Montessori education for families who long for it but may not have the means.
