Ohio taxpayers can claim a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit up to $750 per taxpayer for donations to certified Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs).
- Married couples filing jointly may claim up to a $1500 state tax credit.
- Donors may contribute to an SGO through tax day for the prior tax year to qualify for the state tax credit.
- To receive the tax credit, donors submit their SGO donation receipt with their Ohio tax return.
- More information from the Ohio Department of Taxation about the Scholarship Donation Credit can be found here.
The Ohio Christian Education Network (OCEN) SGO is Legacy's recommended SGO.
- The OCEN SGO serves more than 80 Ohio private schools and is well-respected statewide.
- OCEN manages its own secure, comprehensive platform for donation and receipt management, as well as scholarship applications.
Your gift to the OCEN SGO will be used to fund scholarships for Legacy Christian Academy students. In awarding scholarships, priority is given to students from low-income families. By giving to OCEN and receiving a state tax credit in return, your gift increases accessibility to Christian education for families with financial need at zero net cost to you, the donor!
