You Can Tell your Tax Dollars to go to DCA

You have the potential to give an Ohio student a life-giving opportunity to attend a high-quality Christian school that otherwise might be unaffordable to his or her family. Even better, you can do it at no cost to yourself through giving to a Scholarship Granting Organization! 

A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a state tax credit that allows individuals to redirect up to $750 per individual ($1500 per couple) of their Ohio taxes to K-12 student scholarships for students in private schools. This is done through a certified Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). If you do this, you will receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your state taxes.  

Gifts to the SGO go directly to a scholarship for a student attending  DCA. Money donated above the listed amounts is tax-deductible. Money donated by businesses is tax-deductible. 

DCA's SGO is the Ohio Christian Education Network. Learn more about SGO from the Ohio Christian Education Network.

Ideally, this should be completed BEFORE you do your taxes. As you're preparing your taxes, and before you file, make your SGO donation.  OCEN will accept donations year-round.
