Seeds of Learning concentrates on the most vulnerable in
Archuleta County- our children
“We support Seeds because we want to invest in the future through today’s kids, especially those who are most vulnerable. We choose to auto-donate each month because we’re able to give a specific annual amount over the course of twelve months. Plus, it helps Seeds in their budget planning each year. Giving monthly is really easy and is a win-win for everyone!” ~ Paula Miller & Lowell Wiles- Champion of Children Members.

Income 35 Program
Colorado residents: your donation can go even further through the Income 35: Child Care Contribution Credit. Taxpayers, including individuals, corporations, and other business entities, that make a monetary contribution to eligible child care providers in Colorado may qualify for an income tax credit of up to 50 percent of the total contribution.
To qualify you must have a Colorado tax liability equal to or greater than the credit. In addition, if you itemize deductions on your Federal tax return, there is another tax benefit. (For example, for those in the 25% Federal tax bracket, a $1,000 donation would result in a $750 saving: $500 on Colorado taxes and $250 on Federal taxes.)
At the end of the year, Seeds of Learning will furnish you with a DR 1317 tax credit certification. Be sure to discuss this with your tax preparer and supply them with this document, as evidence of your donation.
This Colorado tax law is a win-win for those who support quality child care and those who provide early education.
