YOUR TAX REFUND CAN HELP T1D PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES

Did you know that the State of Colorado has a tax program which allows you to donate a portion (or all!) of your state tax refund to support the Children’s Diabetes Foundation? CDF is very excited to be one of the registered nonprofits participating in the Voluntary Contribution Program from the Department of Revenue. It’s easy to donate using your state income tax refund. 


HOW TO MAKE A DONATION USING YOUR STATE INCOME TAX REFUND:

Enter CDF’s 11-digit Registration Number: #20023003786 on the Voluntary Contributions Schedule (DR 0104CH). If using a printed form, enter the 11-digit Registration Number and the charity's name as it appears in the Charity Lookup Tool on line 17. That’s it!



Thank you so much for choosing to support our important work with a portion of your state income tax refund. Your generosity makes a real difference for thousands of patients at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.
