MASS TIMES
SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization)
SHOW THIS TO YOUR TAX PREPARER!
There is a terrific way to get a large tax break and support our parishes and school through donations to our diocesan SGO (“Scholarship Granting Organization”). The SGO of Northeast Indiana (www.sgonei.org) supports Huntington Catholic School.
Tax Credit – The state tax credit makes an SGO contribution especially attractive to donors. In addition to the potential Federal tax deduction for charitable contributions, SGO donations are eligible for a 50% State of Indiana Tax Credit.
Where your Donation Goes – Your donation to the SGO of Northeast Indiana designating Huntington Catholic School as the recipient is used to help families with financial need with their tuition costs. Please note that we receive your entire contribution. For example, if you contribute $1000 to our school, we receive $1000 to give as tuition assistance, even though you still get $500 back as a state tax credit.
This seems too good to be true. How it is possible? – The State of Indiana has encoded this into law in order to encourage private investment in education.
How Do I Donate? – You can donate online at
https://app.sgonei.org/donations/new Our school’s Principal, Derek Boone, is available to answer questions and can assist with the donation process. You can contact him at dboone@huntingtoncatholic.org In order to receive tax credit for 2024, please make online donations before Christmas. If you will be mailing a donation, please have it in the mail by December 22, 2024. You can mail the donation to: Catholic School Office, 915 S. Clinton St., Fort Wayne IN 46802
Please consider making a donation which greatly benefits our school and parishes.
God bless you this Advent Season!
