MAXIMIZE YOUR GIVING
When you give through The Sagamore Institute, an Indiana Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), you are providing critical, income-based scholarships to Oaks students whose families cannot afford full tuition on their own.
Thanks to the Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit, SGO scholarship gifts can be doubled or even tripled for a similar out-of-pocket cost for you.
This little-known tax program is one of the most advantageous tax-saving scholarship programs, allowing you to do more than you thought possible.
SGO scholarship gifts from both individuals and businesses are eligible for 50% credit against the state tax liability.
Some SGO scholarship gifts may also qualify for a federal tax deduction.
The smartest tax-efficient giving option is gifting appreciated stock as an SGO scholarship gift. Saving capital gains tax, the out-of-pocket cost is around 16% of the gift total.
Savings vary depending on individual circumstances, so please consult a tax professional to determine how far your SGO scholarship gift can go.
For further questions, contact Nathan Hand, Chief Advancement Officer, at (317) 840-0730 or by email.
