Donate to a Tax Credit Scholarship

Help us Clear the Waitlist!
Did you know that there are more than 4,700 students currently on the waitlist for a tax credit scholarship? These students are waiting for a chance to attend a local Catholic school. Your donation to a tax credit scholarship can help us clear the waitlist and offer more children access to a life-changing Catholic school education. In addition, your donation is eligible for a tax credit of up to 75 percent on your Illinois state income taxes.

We are here to help with the donation process.
Apply for a 2022 tax credit and donate to a Scholarship Granting Organization. We are here to guide you through the process. Please contact us at [email protected] or 312.534.2617 to speak with the Tax Credit Scholarship Office at the archdiocese.

You can donate to help fund a child’s future through the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program, “Invest in Kids,” which provides a 75 percent Illinois state income tax credit for your contribution. Individuals are eligible to contribute through a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) and the funds can be designated to a Catholic school. More than 10,000 scholarships have been awarded since the program began in 2017. However, many students remain on wait lists hoping that a scholarship will help fund their Catholic school education. No donation is too large or small.

Donation Process
Individuals can reserve tax credits through mytax.illinois.gov by following the steps. Renewal donors do not need to register.
