Tax Credit Opportunities Expand Their Reach
The Lutheran Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) exists to raise funds from individuals and businesses and distribute scholarship funds to all eligible students wanting a quality, Christian education. The Lutheran SGO helps to make the dream of students to have a Lutheran education a reality for families.
Last school year, St. John’s gave out $22,000 in SGOs to non-Choice Scholarship families! This year eligibility expanded to students who are as young as four years old. The intention is to ensure that students can enroll in a single school from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.
Can you help us continue in this generosity? This year St. John’s provided nearly $94,000 in scholarships that COULD BE funded through the SGO. Tax-deductible donations can be made online at The Lutheran Scholarship Granting Organization.
Several St. John individuals and families take advantage of this opportunity to support St. John’s and also receive a 50% tax CREDIT towards their Indiana state tax liability. One church member even redirects the required minimum distribution (RMD) from his Individual Retirement Account (IRA) reducing their overall tax liability and receiving a 50% state tax credit as well.
