In 2021, the Ohio General Assembly established a new program whereby Ohioans can receive a 100% tax credit against Ohio income tax liability for cash contributions to certified organizations that grant scholarships to students, including those attending Catholic schools.  The Angel Scholarship Fund is the Scholarship Granting Organization of the Catholic Community Foundation, established to receive funds for and grant scholarships to Catholic school students throughout the Diocese of Cleveland.

Today, in addition to turning your tax dollars into tuition through this dollar-for-dollar Ohio income tax credit (up to $750 for individual filers and $1,500 for joint filers), your contribution to the Angel Scholarship Fund will help:

• Bring more families into faith at St. Mary School, developing students to become lifelong learners and critical thinkers who serve and lead those around them

• Broaden and enhance the faith formation of St. Mary School students, inspiring them to grow deeper in their commitment of service to God and others

• Bridge the gap between tuition and the cost to educate, assisting St. Mary School in its mission to more competitively compensate dedicated and talented teachers
