Those who contribute will receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their Ohio income tax! You will be refunded your entire gift amount at tax time and a school family will receive the gift next fall. You're doubling your money for Catholic families! The limit for the matching credit is $750 for individuals and $1,500 for couples filing jointly. Learn more, confirm eligibility, and make your gift at emmausroadscholarship.org or visit the Welcome Desk for a remittance envelope. Be sure to select "St. Brendan School" as the grantor of the scholarship. *This is not tax advice. Speak with a tax advisor to confirm eligibility.
