New Tax Credit Program Supports Scholarships at No Cost to Donor!*
Beginning January 1, 2027, you can give up to $1,700 to Nativity for free! Eligible donations supporting Nativity: Faith & Reason may qualify for the new Education Freedom Tax Credit, or EFTC.
Donations will be made through the SGOs Seeds of Hope and ACE, which can support scholarships for Nativity: Faith & Reason families.
What is the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC)?
Big impact on the school, not your wallet!
Your gift will support scholarships for eligible students attending Nativity: Faith & Reason, helping make Catholic education more accessible for families.
Anyone owing federal taxes from ANY state can donate!
Eligible taxpayers do not have to have a child at Nativity or be a resident of the state of Colorado to participate!
Please help spread the word about this new tax program! The grandparents in Iowa, your friend in Florida, the cousins in California can all donate to the SGO and may be eligible for the tax credit.
*Considerations to note:
-
Direct gifts to Nativity: Faith & Reason do not qualify for the federal tax credit. Gifts must be made to the SGO, who will provide the tax documents needed to make your claim.
-
Donors may not designate gifts for a specific student or family.
-
Colorado has opted into the federal program, but implementation details and guidance are still developing ahead of the anticipated 2027 rollout.
-
Nativity: Faith & Reason will continue updating this page as additional federal, state, and SGO guidance becomes available!
-
$1,700 is the maximum credit that can be earned each year per tax return filed.
-
Tax credits can reduce your tax liability to $0. Should your total tax liability be less than the amount of tax credit received, the tax credit will carry forward for 5 years.
