Reduce your Ohio income taxes while supporting Catholic Education!
From the Emmaus Road Scholarship website:
Established and certified by the Ohio Attorney General in December 2021, the Diocesan Education Corporation (dba Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund) is a scholarship granting organization (SGO) of the Diocese of Columbus that was formed to capitalize on a new tax credit passed into law by the Ohio Legislature earlier that fall.
What is an SGO? Simply, it is a religious or non-religious non-profit organization exempt from federal taxation that receives contributions from donors to be used primarily for academic scholarships to attend K-12 primary and secondary schools AND prioritizes scholarships for low-income students.
The law allows for a dollar-for-dollar credit on your annual Ohio income tax liability – up to $750 per person, or $1,500 if married filing jointly – effectively allowing YOU to make a choice about how YOUR Ohio tax dollars are utilized.
This program creates much-needed scholarship dollars for Our Catholic Schools to make a Catholic education accessible and affordable for all while giving donors the power to put their tax dollars to work to support our efforts to lead children to an encounter with Christ.
