(Homeless Contribution Tax Credit)
- Eligible cash donations of $100 or more in a calendar year (given once or in increments) from Colorado residents to Homeward Alliance may qualify for a 25% state income tax credit. Donations given through the Colorado Gives Day platform and IRA's DO count as an eligible donation.
- In-kind contributions, including property, services, stocks, bonds, or other intangible property are also eligible for the credit but (per Colorado law) must be $5,001 or more as evaluated by a third party on the date of donation.
- Donations given though tax-advantaged accounts (other than IRA's) are not eligible for the credit.

To do so, we will need your full legal name, mailing address, and the last 4 digits of your SS number. Email Pam@homewardalliance.org for assistance.

Volunteer opportunities
Homeward Alliance volunteers support various programs to help individuals and families who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.
Volunteers directly serve our guests at the Murphy Center by handing out food from our Food Pantry, working at our Front Desk, sorting mail, or doing laundry. Behind the scenes, they sort incoming donations of gear and outerwear. Some opportunities require a regular commitment while others are more sporadic.
To view our current volunteer opportunities, sign up for shifts or log your hours, visit our Bloomerang Volunteer site by clicking HERE.
