Scientific & Cultural Facilities District Free DaysThe Scientific & Cultural Facilities District is a voter-approved special district in the seven-county metro area that provides a stable source of supplemental funding to more than 300 scientific and cultural organizations inside the district’s boundaries. The SCFD collects a one-tenth of 1 percent sales-and-use tax (or one penny on every $10 spent), providing approximately $35 million each year to area cultural attractions both small and large. The cost per capita is relatively small, only about $14.92 per resident each year.

The citizen-supported SCFD provides an exceptional return on the public’s investment. Proceeds from the tax go directly to support art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history, and cultural history in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties.
