Thank you for considering a contribution to the U.S. Olympic Museum & Hall of Fame! The new world-class attraction will be in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, driving hundreds of thousands of new visitors each year; a catalyst for the revitalization of downtown. As such, the Colorado Economic Development Commission has approved the U.S. Olympic Museum & Hall of Fame as an eligible Enterprise Zone Contribution Project.
The Colorado Urban and Rural Enterprise Zone Act allows a taxpayer, for income tax credit purposes, to make a monetary or in-kind contribution to the U.S. Olympic Museum & Hall of Fame. In addition, if the donation and recipient are eligible under federal tax rules, a federal charitable contribution deduction can be taken.
There are three classifications of contributions eligible for income tax credit:
Cash Contributions – eligible for a 25% cash credit ($250 minimum contribution)
In-Kind Contributions (non-cash items including stock donations, equipment, services and land) – eligible for 12.5% credit
In-Kind and Cash Blend – eligible for a 25% cash credit
Example:
$10,000 CASH GIFT | Direct Gift | Enterprise Zone Gift |
| – Federal Tax Savings (35% tax bracket) | -$3,500 | -$3,500 |
| – Colorado Tax Savings at 4.63% | -$463 | -$463 |
| – Enterprise Zone Tax Credit | 0 | -$2,500 |
| = Net Cost of $10,000 GIFT to Donor | $6,037 | $3,537 |
• Receive a TAX CREDIT equal to 25% of your cash donation of $250 or more in addition to regular tax benefits for charitable gifts.
• It’s easy and requires no extra work for you — the U.S. Olympic Museum handles paperwork.
