A 1955 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 a portion of their tax refund or make an additional payment when filing their state income tax return to support United Way of New Jersey. It establishes a special "United Way of New Jersey Fund" within the Department of the Treasury to collect these contributions, with administrative costs deducted before deposits. The Legislature must annually appropriate all funds in the special fund, distributing them equally to all United Way chapters across the state for their programs. The bill does not require contributions, only provides an option for taxpayers to support United Way through their tax filing process.
