Our Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund

Our Diocesan Education Corp is the first organization in the State of Ohio to be certified as a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) by the Ohio Attorney General! 

About the SGO Certification: 

• The SGO program was created in 2021 for the State of Ohio.
• This is an Ohio tax credit for gifts in support of tuition assistance.
• No forms are needed to make a gift.
• Donor receipts will be generated in accordance with tax credit and charitable gift qualifications.
• This is a 100% Ohio tax credit up to $750 per person per year ($1,500 for those married filing jointly)*.
• There is no minimum or maximum donation amount. No gift is too big or too small.
• Those who itemize may still claim additional charitable donations on state and federal taxes AND receive the Ohio tax credit.
• Gifts to the Diocesan Education Corp provide tuition assistance to low-income students and families demonstrating increasing and substantial need in our schools.
• Gifts make a high-quality Catholic education accessible and affordable for all of our school families.
