Innovative Leadership in Child Care For more than two decades, Colorado has led the nation in supporting child care through the Child Care Contribution Tax Credit (CCTC). This innovative policy allows taxpayers to receive a 50% tax credit—up to $100,000—for contributions to child care and related programs. HB 26-1004 continues the availability of the credit, ensuring that this powerful tool remains in place to support critical funding for Colorado’s child care system and the families and providers who rely on it.

At the 2024 Annual Business Leaders Dinner, Colorado’s most influential government, business, and community leaders came together to celebrate EPIC’s achievements in the industry and connect with other leaders dedicated to advancing our early childhood efforts.
As many Americans would agree, raising a child is expensive. In fact, a 2022 Brookings study estimated the cost of raising a child from birth to age 17, adjusted for inflation, is over $300,000 in the United States. As families navigate the expenses of raising a child, including the impact of economic uncertainties, financial planning conversations are beneficial. However, for many families, particularly those from underserved communities, the idea of visiting a financial planner can be intimidating. Thanks to the 2023 launch of PNC Center for Financial Education, individuals, families and small businesses across PNC’s national footprint have access to a variety of workshops, delivered in partnership with community organizations such as Mi Casa Resource Center and Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute in Colorado.
Denver’s shortage of accessible, affordable child care continues to be one of the biggest barriers to economic growth and workforce participation. An estimated 20% to 25% of workers depend on child care to participate in the labor force, yet supply continues to fall short. In a recent Colorado Real Estate Journal article, EPIC President and CEO Nicole Riehl and EPIC Member Neil Oberfeld, Shareholder at Greenberg Traurig LLP, highlight how real estate leaders can help address this challenge — through creative leasing strategies, employer-sponsored and shared-use models, integrating child care centers into commercial developments, and more.
