What is 5C?

The Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit (5C) was established to encourage greater private support of Colorado child care programs, like those provided to the community by The Jewish Experience.

Because specific monetary contributions made to us qualify for this tax credit, you can decrease the after-tax cost of your gifts by 50%. TJE requires a minimum gift of $2,500 to qualify for this tax credit. Pledge today and pay by December 31 to ensure you receive the full benefit.

Can I commit to a recurring monthly donation?

Absolutely. Monthly donations are one of the most impactful ways to support TJE. Just select the “Monthly” option at checkout, choose your amount, and your support will process automatically each month. You can change or cancel at any time.

Can I donate crypto, stock or other forms of currency?

Yes! TJE can accept crypto, stock, and other non-cash contributions. These types of gifts often come with additional tax advantages for donors. If you’re interested, we’ll connect you with our team to provide simple instructions and transfer details.

The federal income tax deduction benefits individuals who itemize their tax deductions on their federal return.
