Yes! There is an option to make a monthly payment on the online giving form.

The credit should be entered on your Ohio Tax Return Schedule of Credits.

Donations received or postmarked by December 31 will be receipted for that tax year. For example, if you donate to the Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund during the 2022 calendar year, then you will receive the tax credit on your 2022 tax return when you file your taxes in the Spring of 2023.

While you can certainly donate more than $750/1,500 for needy students, Ohio only allows a tax credit of up to $750 ($1,500 if joint return). However, that amount plus any excess is eligible for a federal tax charitable contribution deduction. The school will receive the full amount of your donation for use for financial aid.

Every family’s tax situation is unique, but generally, if an individual earns $45,000 in Ohio, they can expect to pay $761 in Ohio income tax. If that individual donated $750 to Emmaus by December 31, they would owe the state only $11. If the tax had already been paid, the state will issue a refund to that taxpayer. Make sure you consult a tax advisor if you are unsure of your tax liability.

No, the contribution is to St. Andrew, which will award scholarships to students based on need.

Unfortunately no. Federal law does not allow this type of arrangement. However, as we continue to build this fund, it is our hope that the school is able to greatly increase the amount of tuition assistance it can give our students.
