This article was originally published by Colorado Politics. By Mike Kehoe, Lisa Steven and Johnna Reeder Kleymeyer Colorado parents are struggling to find childcare, programs that serve our most vulnerable families are stretched thin, and private philanthropy has never been more critical. Since it was first enacted in 1998, the Childcare Contribution Tax Credit (CCTC) has been reauthorized with bipartisan support because it is one of the smartest tools Colorado has to support childcare. The legislature has the opportunity this session to extend it for 10 more years under HB 26-1004.
Innovative Leadership in Childcare For more than two decades, Colorado has led the nation in supporting childcare through the Childcare Contribution Tax Credit (CCTC). This innovative policy allows taxpayers to receive a 50% tax credit—up to $100,000—for contributions to childcare 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 childcare system and the families and providers who rely on it.
