    SGO is an acronym for Scholarship Granting Organization. SGOs are 501(c)(3) organizations that raise and distribute scholarship funds primarily to k-12 students. Columbus Torah Academy has partnered with EveryChildEveryFamily and the OAIS SGO.

    How do SGOs work?

    The State of Ohio now allows individual donors to make donations up to $750 through an SGO (up to $1,500 a couple) and receive a 100% tax credit – dollar for dollar – towards a taxpayer’s Ohio tax liability. To receive the maximum tax credit benefit of $1,500 for a couple filing jointly.  Deadline to contribute is April 15 of the qualifying tax year.

    How can you benefit from contributing to an SGO?

    Step 1:  Check your Ohio tax liability on your Ohio return that it is more than the maximum amount.
    Step 2:  Make contribution to one of the SGO links above to designate Columbus Torah Academy
    Step 3:  Include receipt with Ohio return for the coming tax filing to get the 1:1 credit.
