How can I help?

Please encourage your friends and family to donate through the "Donate Now" link or to write a check, made payable to Ave Maria Catholic School.

Remember that all qualifying donations at the Angels Among Us Gala & Auction are eligible for the Colorado Contribution Tax Credit (CCTC), which provides tax filers a 50% tax credit on your Colorado state tax returns. This means that if you can afford to give a $500 donation, you can double your gift to $1,000 and receive half back after filing taxes, which means you will have spent $500 and given $1,000!

Encourage grandparents to donate!

All donors, regardless of whether they have children who attend AMCS, will receive a donation confirmation and form DR 1317, to be used when filing Colorado state taxes.
