A 2462 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support United Way of New Jersey.

This bill allows New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to United Way of New Jersey when filing their state income tax returns, either by designating a portion of their tax refund or making an additional payment. It establishes a special "United Way of New Jersey Fund" within the state Treasury, where all collected contributions will be deposited after deducting administrative costs. The Legislature must annually appropriate all funds in this account and distribute them equally to every local United Way chapter across New Jersey to support their community programs. The bill does not require any contribution and only provides an optional funding mechanism for taxpayers who choose to participate.
