RICHMOND — Virginians expecting a state tax refund this year can transform it into on-the-ground support for outdoor recreation and biodiversity conservation.
Taxpayers can direct all or a portion of their state tax refund to Virginia’s Open Space Recreation and Conservation Fund.
Half of the donated funds go to outdoor recreation project grants and the other half supports the Virginia Natural Area Preserve System.
To choose the Open Space Recreation and Conservation Fund, enter code number 68 on Schedule VAC (Virginia Contributions Schedule), Section II (Other Voluntary Contributions). This form accompanies the state individual tax return Form 760.
