You can donate to a cause or charity on your own. But when you entrust The Denver Children’s Foundation (DCF) with stewardship of your Legacy Grant donation, you invest in an exhaustive charity review process to select the best of the best . . . and you help build our community’s next generation of philanthropic, business, and social leaders.

With a minimum annual donation of $10,000 for a 3-year term, you receive recognition with a named grant and publicity through our social network and events, select the charity to receive your grant from our approved grant applicant slate and, if you pay taxes in Colorado, you’ll benefit from an additional Colorado Child Care Contribution (CCCC) Tax Credit.

Want to start smaller? We’ll provide a CCCC Tax Credit for EVERY donation of $1,000 or more.

Colorado’s donor-friendly Colorado Child Care Contribution (CCC) tax credit means your donation dollars produce a return of 3.3x after credits and deductions; the examples below assume a 35% federal tax rate and 4.63% Colorado tax rate. Learn more with this short video.
