Donations: Child Care Contribution

                   Support our children's programs and at the same time receive a major tax break.

Success for our clients is often reflected through positive gains in development and stability provided by our childcare and children’s programs.  When you make a cash donation to one of Aurora Mental Health Center's children's programs, you not only provide a child an opportunity to build self-esteem, self-control, and the skills necessary to better cope with future challenges, you'll qualify for a major tax break under Colorado's Child Care Contribution Tax Credit.

Under the tax credit program, you can take the appropriate federal tax deduction for the contribution, plus a 50% state income tax credit.

Here’s an example of what a cash donation actually costs you under the tax credit rules:

Individual tax benefits may vary. Please consult your personal tax advisor.

Qualifying programs at Aurora Mental Health Center include:

• Summer Program: A six-week, therapeutic program offered to elementary school aged children with serious emotional disturbances each summer. This program provides children with 15-hours a week of treatment and therapeutic recreation to help with delinquent behaviors.

• One Client Said...

  "Aurora Mental Health has been a great part of the success that our family has had with the adoption of our 4 1/2 year old.  They helped us to cope with the challenges of integrating our new daughter into our family.  Their help was absolutely vital in helping our family feel like a normal and complete family."
