ENTERPRISE ZONE & COLORADO CHILD CARE TAX CREDITS
PIH is one of the few approved Enterprise Zone activities in Colorado Springs, and that has significant meaning to you, our supporters. Any cash donation to PIH of $500 or more provides the donor with a Colorado State tax credit for 25% of the amount of the contribution. This is not a "tax deduction" – it is an actual credit, which allows the donor to reduce Colorado State tax due by $125 in return for the minimum $500 contribution. (Donors of in-kind contributions valued at $500 or more receive a 12.5% Colorado State tax credit).
Those taking advantage of the Enterprise Zone tax credit will need to make their checks payable to the El Paso County Enterprise Zone Administrator. In the memo section of the check, note “Partners In Housing”. Be sure to include your telephone number and tax identification number or social security number (individuals) on the check and send the check to:

If you have any questions, please contact our Development Director Erin or call (719) 325-5835.
GIFTS IN KIND -- FURNITURE, CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
Many homeless families come in to our program with nothing but the clothes on their back, or whatever possessions they could fit in a suitcase or car. In-kind donations are essential to helping these families rebuild their lives. To see a list of our most current donation needs, please click here to view our "wish list".
