Your generous donation will help fund grants to subsidize spay and neuter surgeries of dogs and cats owned by income-qualified residents. These grants are awarded to local coalitions of animal care and control agencies and veterinarians to help prevent unwanted litters.

Colorado statute established the charitable Pet Overpopulation Fund tax check-off on the Colorado state income tax form. Simply enter the amount you would like to donate on the Voluntary Contributions Schedule, line 5, and the state of Colorado will forward the designated amount to this important fund. Your donation is tax deductible and anonymous. If you use a tax preparer, please ask how you can donate to the Pet Overpopulation Fund.  

You can also contribute anytime directly to the Fund by sending a donation to Pet Overpopulation Fund, 405 Urban Street, Suite 340, Lakewood, CO 80228. Make your check payable to the Pet Overpopulation Fund. Your donation is tax deductible.

Tax checkoff funds are dedicated to the spay/neuter of owned animals by local coalitions of humane societies, veterinary clinics, and animal care and control organizations. The Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund encourages the submission of applications that demonstrate collaboration and address the overpopulation of cats as well as dogs. Proposals may also request funding for public education and awareness efforts to combat pet overpopulation. Click here to view checkoff application guidelines.
