The Y offers several options so you can select one that works best for you. These include:
*Bi-weekly payroll deduction: Your pledge can be paid in installments through deductions directly from your paycheck. You determine the amount you’d like to have deducted from each payroll over the course of 24 pay periods in 2021. Not sure how much you’d need to have deducted each period to reach your total gift? Check out this chart for answers.
*One-time payroll deduction: You can also have your gift deducted from your paycheck in the pay period of your choosing. Simply let us know when you’d like the gift deducted and you are set.
*Cash, check, or credit card: If you’d like to pay through any of these methods, you can absolutely do so. Just select the appropriate method on your pledge form and the Development Office will follow up with you.
Your pledge can be paid in installments through deductions directly from your paycheck. Annual Support Campaign gifts are deducted from 24 of the 26 pay periods each year. Not sure how much you need to deduct from each check to reach your total gift? Check out this chart for clarification.
If you know that you’d like to give a certain dollar amount from each paycheck, simply multiply that amount by 24 for your total gift.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, gifts to the Y are tax deductible for most donors.
Most donors can also take advantage of the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit (CCCC). This credit allows most donors to take up to a credit on their Colorado income taxes of 50% of their total gift. So a donor who gives $500 will likely see $250 of that back through a credit on the state income taxes.
At the end of each year, donors using the CCCC will receive a form they can use to complete their taxes.
Yes, you can absolutely earmark your gift to support any of the YMCAs here in the Pikes Peak Region, including Camp Shady Brook, the Colorado Springs Senior Center, as well as Association Child Care & Youth Programming.
You don’t have to limit your choice to just one center either. You can select multiple centers when completing your pledge form and just tell us how you’d like your gift divided in the “Notes” box.
Feel free to ask your supervisor any questions you have related to the Annual Support Campaign. You can also reach out to the Y's Development Office at [email protected]
