CHANGE A LIFE
Thanks to Colorado’s 50% Child Care Contribution Tax Credit, eligible donations to Firefly Autism can earn you a state tax credit worth half your gift—so a $1,000 donation may cost you as little as $500 after tax benefits. It’s a smart way to give more while supporting life-changing services for children and adults with autism.
