Enterprise Zone Tax Credit

Dream Centers has one of several Enterprise Zone projects designated by the State of Colorado to encourage job creation and reduce homelessness. Colorado residents who make qualifying gifts to Dream Centers are eligible for a generous tax credit of:

  • up to 25% to use against state income tax if giving an outright gift of cash, OR
  • 12.5% for gifts of appreciated assets, such as stocks and securities.

For stocks and securities donation, please contact us at 719.204.6543.

Dream Centers is currently approved for the following project with the Enterprise Zone:

Dream Centers Mary’s Home – your enterprise donation can be designated to cover the operational costs of Dream Centers Mary’s Home.

Gifts of at least $250 to Dream Centers qualify. With a gift designated to the Colorado Enterprise Zone, you can nearly double the size of your gift – and the impact of your generosity – without increasing your net cost.

By using Enterprise Zone tax credit to support the mothers and children in need, you reduce your total out-of-pocket costs significantly.

“We saw the benefit on both sides by giving to Dream Centers via the Enterprise Zone. Mainly, we saw the impact our gift will make for not just the current families at Mary’s Home, but the vision to serve more families at one time. We want to help Dream Centers to grow with their impact in the community.”
