The Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership (UWP) offers a few easy ways to make your tax-deductible financial contribution to our nonprofit. Your donations support education about local rivers, riparian areas and water science; monitoring and analysis of water quality and quantity; restoration of watershed areas; collaboration and communication with public land agencies and river property owners; and the operation of our nonprofit so we can do all of the above.
Tax Credits
Colorado taxpayers, who make monetary or in-kind contributions of $250 and above to the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership, may also receive a Colorado income tax credit of 12.5 or 25 percent of their donations. See more information about the Enterprise Zone tax credits.
