Donors are set to receive $11,000 in tax credits with gifts made this year. Donate now to claim your tax credit!
While most of our students will receive financial assistance through the Indiana Choice Scholarship program, most will also receive a scholarship from St. John’s. YOU can help make that possible, while also receiving a tax credit from the State of Indiana.
Since September 1 of this year, four donors have made a total of $22,000 in gifts to our Scholarship Fund! Because of their gifts, St. John’s can provide scholarships to families AND they receive a credit towards their 2025 tax liability.
Visit https://lutheransgo.org/resources-for-donors/ for information on how YOU can make a gift to the St. John’s Scholarship Fund. The process is incredibly SIMPLE!
- Visit the website and click the “DONATE NOW” button.
- Choose your donation type (there are at least eight ways to donate)
- Select “St. John Lutheran – La Porte” from the list of schools
- Make your gift (farmers can even give gifts of grain)
- Receive your receipt and the 50% state tax credit certification
- File your taxes with the State of Indiana, reporting the donation on Schedule 6 and Form IN-OCC.
Last year at least one donor COMPLETELY ELIMINATED their state tax liability, receiving a refund of ALL the state tax that was withheld from their paycheck!
