Support Private School Scholarships Through a Tax-Credit Eligible Gift
Thank you for considering a gift to the Community Foundation of Elkhart County in support of private school scholarships. We are certified by the Indiana Department of Education as a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) under Indiana Code 20-51-1-7 and operate an approved school scholarship program in accordance with Indiana Code 20-51-3-1.
As an SGO, we can receive donations that provide scholarships for eligible students attending qualified, non-public schools in Elkhart County. These contributions are also eligible for a 50% state tax credit through the Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit Program (Indiana Code 6-3.1-30.5), subject to availability of state-allocated credits.
Donors must choose to designate their gift to a specific participating school.
To ensure your contribution qualifies for the tax credit, we will collect necessary information from you or your business and submit the required application to the Indiana Department of Revenue on your behalf.
Once your donation is processed and approved, we will mail you a receipt within seven to 10 business days for your records and tax filing.
