Scientific and Cultural Facilities Act
In 1988, voters in the Denver metro area created the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) to provide a consistent source of unrestricted funding to scientific and cultural organizations. Since then, the SCFD has funded over 300 organizations via the 0.1% retail sales and use tax (one penny on every $10). Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson are the seven counties that comprise the district.
