The new program, promoted through the ReFUND CO awareness initiative, lets you choose where your donation goes. All you have to do is
Decide how much of your state income tax refund to donate (all or a portion of it).
Enter [Swift Eagle Charitable Foundation] and our registration number [20073009138] in the Donate to a Colorado Nonprofit Fund line on your state tax return or tax software – or just give this info to your tax preparer when you share your tax documents. It’s easy and pain free! And consider this. Last year, Colorado returned more than $1 billion in refunds to 1.9 million state taxpayers.
