Who: Anyone or any corporation filing an Indiana state income tax return can benefit from the Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit Program. There is NO CAP on the amount of tax credits a donor can secure as long as they are available (click here for tax credit balance for this fiscal year). The tax credit can be applied toward your Indiana income tax liability (it may not be refunded or applied to a tax liability from a prior year).
What: SGO stands for Scholarship Granting Organization. The Sagamore Institute, a State of Indiana approved organization, partnered with Colonial Christian School in 2013 to help with the implementation of the Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit Program aiding children in grades K-12 from qualifying households whose parents wish to send their children to a private school but could otherwise not afford to do so. Thanks to the generosity of many private and corporate donations, the Sagamore/Colonial partnership has facilitated over 60 student scholarships for over 50 Christian families.
When: The time is now! There are more and more families in central Indiana who continue to pray for the opportunity and the means to provide a quality Christian education for their children. Continued funding of the Colonial Christian School SGO Scholarship Fund is necessary to make scholarships available for future Colonial students and make Christian education a reality for these special families. As the end of the current tax year approaches, individual and corporate tax liabilities become more clearly defined, and contributing a monetary gift to the Colonial Christian School SGO Scholarship Fund will allow donors to take full advantage of the unparalleled tax credits (directly reducing taxes due) available to Indiana residents and businesses through Indiana's state tax-credit scholarship program.
Why: Donors (private and/or corporate) designating monetary gifts to the Colonial Christian School SGO Scholarship Fund through the Sagamore Institute receive a state tax credit equal to fifty-percent (50%) of the amount donated. The Sagamore Institute is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so the donation is also eligible for a federal deduction. There is no limit on the amount of state tax credits an Indiana individual or business can receive through this program. A donor gifting a $500 scholarship costs said donor less than $250 and provides one Colonial Christian student with a pathway into the Indiana Department of Education Choice Voucher Program. Over a period of twelves years, a one-time gift can grow into a potential investment of over $55,000 in paid educational expenses for a single student (grades K-12), impacting young lives for eternity.
