Dayton Christian SGO

This program was established by the General Assembly to provide Ohioans a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit up to $750 annually to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). An SGO provides private school scholarships to students in need.

A tax credit is an amount of money that reduces the dollar amount of taxes owed.

A tax credit reduces your Ohio tax liability whereas a tax deduction reduces the amount of income that is subject to tax. Moreover, the money saved on a tax deduction can only be realized if a person itemizes their deductions on their federal tax return.

No. You can donate any amount up to $750 as an individual or up to $1,500 as a couple filing jointly. The amount you donate is the amount you will claim on your state income tax filing.

No. Money must be made to the SGO rather than a specific individual for it to qualify as a charitable donation.

State of Ohio law mandates that students whose families qualify as low-income must be prioritized in the granting of scholarships.
