Your refund or payment must cover all contribution amounts or no contrbution is made.

Example: Your return calculations show a $60 refund and you make a $30 contribution - $10 to each fund. Upon processing, the Department discovers a math error and your refund is now $25. The refund is less than the $30 contribution. The filer receives the $25 as an income tax refund and no contributions are made.

Nongame Wildlife Fund Contribution
The Nongame Wildlife Fund was created to preserve VT's natural wildlife heritage for ourselves and our culture. Many species benefit form your gift, including loons, songbirds, frogs, turtles, bald eagles, butterflies, and peregrine falcons.

This is a convenient way to select wildlife for charitable giving. This gift is deductible on next year's Federal tax return as a charitable contribution. Thank you for caring and giving a "voice" to many of VT's rarest creatures.
