Falcon SGO Inc. is a certified Ohio Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO).

Falcon SGO is a public charity and tax exempt under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3).  As such, donors can deduct contributions to Falcon SGO under IRC Section 170.

Falcon SGO provides scholarships to Catholic primary schools located in Vandalia, Ohio.  If you wish to support a school other than St. Christopher School in Vandalia Ohio, please visit the Ohio Attorney General's Website for a list of other certified scholarship granting organizations.

HOW TO DONATE:

Before making a gift, please consult with your tax advisor to determine your eligibility for the Ohio tax credit.

Falcon SGO will send Donor Confirmation Letters in early January.  

WHY DONATE TO AN SGO?

Ohio taxpayers who donate to SGOs may be able to claim a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their Ohio state income tax return for up to $750 per donor (up to $1,500, if married and filing jointly).  See section 5747.73 of the Ohio Revised Code.

PLEASE NOTE:  if two people in one household wish to claim the tax credit, each individual should make a separate donation (i.e., two separate PayPal transactions, two checks, or two credit card transactions).  Separate acknowledgement letters can then be provided to document each individual gift.

TAX CREDIT vs. DEDUCTION

It is important to understand the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction, and it is important to determine your eligibility for tax credits and deductions before you file.

• Credits can reduce the amount of tax you owe or increase your tax refund.

• Deductions can reduce the amount of your income before you calculate the tax you owe.
