DONATE

The Colorado Myco League is a public charity (501c3) focused on educating the public on the many benefits that fungi can provide. We operate on the belief that giving to and guiding others in need is also a form of healing yourself.

And you can help us, help everyone!

Monetary donations help us cover our basic operating expenses so we can continue to host and improve our public events, workshops, forays and do giveaways with a focus on helping those in most need.

We also accept physical goods like mycology supplies, foraging books, coco coir, grain, mushroom grow bags, 70% isopropyl alcohol, clear sterilite storage tubs, spores, live cultures, lab supplies, petri dishes, pressure cookers, microscopes, tincture bottles, 190 proof ethanol, mushroom supplements and even dried wild or cultivated mushrooms of all varieties. At this stage, almost anything can be put to use for our mission!

What About Tax Deductions?

As a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, donations made to The Colorado Myco League are tax deductable.

As long as you aren’t recieving anything in return for your donation (IE: t-shirt, mug, supplements, etc) you are allowed to write off the full amount of your donation on your taxes.

If you do get something in return for your donation you have to deduct the fair market value of the product/service you recieved from the donation amount before you deduct it from your taxes.

If you donate physical goods, you can write off the fair market value of those items.

We do accept donations of mushrooms considerd “Natural Medicine” in the state of Colorado as well, only you can’t write this donation off on your taxes. This is because there is no fair market value for natural medicine on the open market due to its restricted nature. We will never sell it and always put it to good use towards our mission by re-gifting it to members of our community that most need it.

Remember the IRS limits how much you can write off on your taxes each year and in 2024 it is 60% of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.
