Dear Tier II Organizations,
SCFD’s goal is to continue to support you to the best of our ability while staying true to our governing state statute to provide funding to “enlighten and entertain the public.” Here are a few reminders for this month:
What You Need To Know
2025 QUALIFICATION THRESHOLD - $2,025,202.89
SCFD applies a two-year trailing Consumer Price Index (CPI) average to calculate the annual Tier II Qualification Income Threshold.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Denver-Lakewood-Aurora CPI for 2022 increased 8.0% and in 2023 increased 5.2%, yielding an average of 6.6%. This 6.6% increase, when applied to the 2024 Qualifying Threshold of $1,899,815.09, makes the Tier II Qualifying Income Threshold for application year 2025 $2,025,202.89.
