A win-win-win!
As a Utah tax payer or business owner, you already contribute a substantial portion of your income or revenue to taxes. But now you can decide exactly how some of those tax dollars are spent. Through CFEF you can direct your tax dollars to a cause that strengthens your community, empowers families, and improves educational outcomes.
By donating to the Children First Education Fund (CFEF), you can take control of your tax money and ensure it directly benefits children with disabilities in Utah, rather than disappearing into the general tax pool. And the best part? You receive a 100% Utah State income tax credit on your contribution, meaning it costs you nothing to make this life-changing difference.
Why Should You Care Where Your Taxes Go?
Turn your taxes into tangible results
Let’s be honest: once your tax dollars enter the state’s general fund, you have no say in how they are used. They could be spent on bureaucratic inefficiencies, projects you don’t support, or initiatives that don’t directly benefit your community.
But when you donate to CFEF, you transform your tax obligation into a strategic investment in the education of children who need it most. Your contribution helps families afford specialized schooling options tailored to their children’s unique needs—something that public schools often struggle to provide.
In other words, you turn your taxes into tangible results.
The Business Benefits of Donating to CFEF
Beyond the immediate impact on children and families, directing your tax dollars through CFEF offers several key benefits to your business:
Maximize Your Tax Impact
Since you receive a dollar-for-dollar state income tax credit, your donation costs you nothing out of pocket. Why not put that money to work where you can actually see the results?
Strengthen Community Ties
A well-educated workforce starts with providing quality education at the earliest levels. By funding scholarships for children with disabilities, you contribute to a stronger, more inclusive community.
Enhance Your Corporate Reputation
Consumers and employees alike respect companies that give back. Aligning your brand with a cause like education builds goodwill and customer loyalty.
Attract and Retain Employees
A Real-World Example: CCBank and Security Home Mortgage
Businesses are already taking advantage of this opportunity. CCBank and its subsidiary, Security Home Mortgage, recently donated $2.25 million to CFEF. By doing so, they ensured that families in Utah have greater access to education options while simultaneously benefiting from the tax incentives available through the fund.
Your business can do the same.
