Habitat for Humanity of California on Voluntary Contribution Fund in 2014 California Tax Return

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Jan. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- The State of California Legislature has passed Assembly Bill 1765, listing Habitat for Humanity of California as a Voluntary Contribution Fund on the 2014 State of California Tax Return. Supporters of Habitat for Humanity in California can now easily donate on their tax return by designating a contribution in the box number 428 next to “Habitat for Humanity Fund”.

Existing law allows taxpayers to contribute to one or more 20 voluntary contribution funds, known as VCF’s or check-offs, by checking a box on their CA State Income Tax Return. California law requires check-off contributions to be made from taxpayers’ own resources and not from their tax liability, as is possible on federal tax returns. The bill was authorized by Assembly member Reggie Jones-Sawyer a Democrat representing South Los Angeles and advocate for low-income home ownership.

Habitat for Humanity California and affiliates strongly urges supporters to donate on their tax return by checking the box number 428 “Habitat for Humanity Fund” in the Voluntary Contribution section on their 2014 State of California Tax Returns. All proceeds go directly to Habitat for Humanity of California’s sole purpose of building affordable housing for limited-income families throughout California.
