Ohio Tax Credit Scholarships
Now Ohioans can receive a 100% TAX CREDIT off their Ohio tax liability up to $750 for individuals ($1500 for couples filing jointly) who make a cash donation to our qualifying Scholarship Granting Organization.

The Chesterton Academy of St. Joseph Scholarship Foundation (CASJSF) has been certified by the State of Ohio as a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). This is great news because gifts to the CASJSF can be directed to Chesterton Academy Students!
Turn your taxes into tuition to benefit CASJ. Ohio taxpayers who donate to an SGO may be able to claim a dollar-for-dollar non-refundable tax credit on their state income tax return for up to $750 per donor (up to $1,500 if married and filing jointly).
This is a great way to support Chesterton Academy of St. Joseph and benefit from this new Ohio Income Tax Credit.

| STEP 3 |
|---|
| Claim your tax credit on your Ohio Tax Return with the tax credit receipt that you will receive from the Chesterton Academy of St. Joseph Scholarship Foundation. |
You will receive a thank you letter from the CASJSF for your records. Keep this letter and use it when you file your Ohio state taxes to receive your Ohio tax credit.
PLEASE NOTE: According to a representative from the Ohio Department of Taxation, if you file a married joint return, each taxpayer will need to make their own $750 contribution to claim the maximum of $1,500. Separate acknowledgement letters will be provided for documentation of your gifts.
Because this provision is a tax credit and a re-direction of your taxes, we kindly ask that your gift to the CASJSF be in addition to your current support of Chesterton Academy.
