Homeless Contribution Tax Credit (HCTC)

Get 25% of your donation back ‍

The Colorado Homeless Contribution Income Tax Credit (HCTC) allows Colorado taxpayers to receive a 25% state income tax credit for qualifying donations to approved nonprofits like SafeHouse Denver. Most monetary donations of $100 or more qualify for the HCTC tax credit.

This program was enacted through HB22-1083 and is administered by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs.

  • Let's say Jane Donor made five donations this year.

    • $75 on February 23

    • $103.20 on March 20 ($100 base donation and $3.20 to cover credit card processing fees)

    • $200 on April 1

    • $300 on July 8

    • $250 on December 5 for Colorado Gives Day

    The $75 donation and $103.20 donation were both made in the first quarter, so Jane must submit her contributions by April 30*. However, each donation is considered separately for the tax credit, so the $75 donation is not eligible for HCTC because it's less than $100. For the $103.20 donation, only $100 is eligible for HCTC because processing fees are not eligible.

    The $200 donation was made on the first day of the second quarter and is a fully qualifying gift. Jane has until July 31 to submit her second quarter contribution in the donor portal*.

    The $300 donation was for two tickets to the Hope Gala. Because Jane received goods (tickets to the event), $240 of the $300 is not tax-deductible, leaving a tax-deductible amount of $60. Therefore, this donation cannot be submitted for HCTC because it is less than $100.

    The $250 donation in December was made on ColoradoGives.org for Colorado Gives Day. Because this donation was made via an intermediary website, this donation is not eligible for HCTC.

    These examples are not exhaustive, and we recognize that this new process can be confusing! For any questions, feel free to reach out to us to discuss your unique donations.
