Deadline for 2025 Tax Return Reduction with Donation to Good Samaritan Scholarship

Did you know that you can potentially reduce the amount of your Ohio state tax return with a qualified charitable donation? Donations to the Good Samaritan Scholarship Fund [the Diocese of Youngstown’s Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)] can apply for a potential state tax credit of up to $750 (or $1,500 if married filing jointly). 

You can donate online at doy.org/sgo or use the printable contribution form to mail in your donation, indicating the tax year to apply your credit. You can also indicate which school you wish to receive the donation, or the donation will default to the area of greatest need. 

Your support directly impacts a family’s ability to afford a Catholic education. Consult your accountant for full details on tax implications. Thank you for your generosity! Please contact your local Catholic school for more information about local scholarships and giving opportunities: doy.org/schools/contact.
