Saint John Scholarship Granting Organization
It's too good to be true - but it is! What you give to the Saint John Scholarship Organization (SGO) comes back to you.
The State of Ohio has enacted a Tax Credit Scholarship Program where individuals may receive a 100% tax credit against their Ohio income tax liability for gifts up to $750 ($1,500 for married couples filing jointly through two separate $750 donations) to a scholarship granting organization.
You can support Saint John School students with scholarship assistance, and in turn, receive a 2024 tax credit when filing your OHIO income tax.
- If you owe income tax, your contribution to the Saint John SGO keep your tax dollars local and satisfies your payment to the state.
- If you are receiving a refund, your refund will increase by the amount you contribute. In other words, "you get your money back” AND assist Saint John School students.
Just follow these three steps to contribute to Saint John Scholarship Granting Organization:
1. Review your Ohio tax liability from last year (1040 IT, line 8c) to help estimate the amount of your Ohio tax liability for this year against which the credit can be taken.
2. Go to www.sjheralds.org/support or click the link below to make a one-time gift to Saint John Scholarship Granting Organization. Your gift must be made by April 15, 2025 to qualify for a 2024 Tax Year credit.
3. Claim your tax credit on your 2024 Ohio tax form with the tax credit receipt that you will receive after submitting your gift.
We will host an informational meeting on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 6:00 pm(at Saint John School). Please come and invite your friends and family who would like to save on their taxes AND invest in our Herald students.
