Enterprise Zone (EZ) Projects
About EZ Projects and Tax Credits
Colorado taxpayers can receive what’s called the Enterprise Zone Contribution Tax Credit by donating to Enterprise Zone (EZ) Projects. Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity has three eligible EZ Projects for 2026, allowing donors to claim these state income tax credits when contributing to any of them. Donors receive a 25% tax credit for monetary donations, and 12.5% tax credit for in-kind donations. Donations must be $250 or more to qualify.
How to make an EZ donation online
1. Make your donation using the giving form to the right.
2. When you make your donation, choose which EZ Project you’d like the funds to support. If no project is chosen, we will use the funds for whichever project has the biggest financial need.
3. After your donation is complete, please email the last four digits of your social security number or your full business EIN to Emma.Price@PikesPeakHabitat.org. The EZ Administrator requires this information in order to prepare your tax credit.

Pikes Peak Habitat's EZ Projects
Rising Moon
Donations to this EZ Project will fund new workforce housing construction costs on our 9-acre, 41-lot development in the Widefield area. At least 14 of the 41 homes will be sold to Widefield School District 3 educators. (Read more about the Housing for Educators program here.) Pikes Peak Habitat will build at least five houses per year on these lots in an effort to create more opportunities for Widefield School District 3 employees and other workforce families to become homeowners affordably.
The Ridge at Sand Creek
Donations to this EZ Project will fund new workforce housing construction costs on our 30-lot property inside The Ridge at Sand Creek, a 4.4-acre subdivision with 90 total lots in Colorado Springs. The developed land of these 30 lots was donated by Love in Action, a Colorado nonprofit corporation. Pikes Peak Habitat will finish construction by the end of 2026, leaving behind a completed, mixed-income neighborhood.
Micah’s View & Jacob’s Run
Donations to this EZ Project will fund new workforce housing construction costs on two infill properties that Pikes Peak Habitat purchased in Fountain — Micah’s View and Jacob’s Run. Micah’s View was named in memory of Micah Tice, a U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School Cadet Candidate and Pikes Peak Habitat construction site volunteer. Jacob’s Run was named in memory of Jacob Busch who served on Pikes Peak Habitat’s Finance Committee. Pikes Peak Habitat will build six new houses in these developments over the next 10 years with particular outreach to partnering with teachers in the Fountain area.
