Ohio SGO Tax Credit

Invest in Students. Save on Taxes.

Turn Taxes into Scholarships

The Ohio Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives donations from individuals to provide academic scholarships to K-12 students. It is?not?an expense, but a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (up to $750 for single filers and $1,500 for joint filers), meaning you redirect funds you would already pay in state taxes directly to student scholarships.

You don’t lose money; you simply choose where a portion of your Ohio tax liability is invested.?
