Tax Credit Donation (SGO)

The Indiana Scholarship Tax Credit Program was established to incentivize donations to help fund educational choice scholarships for families who wish to attend non-public schools. This tax savings opportunity is available to donors making a financial contribution through a qualified scholarship-granting organization (SGO). Canterbury's preferred SGO partner is Sagamore Institute.

Sagamore Institute SGO is an Indiana state-certified scholarship granting organization that partners with Canterbury on this program.When you give, Sagamore will apply your gift to the state for your tax credit and will issue your income tax receipt. More information regarding Sagamore Institute is available at scholarshipsforeducationchoice.com.

WHY DONATE?

50% Tax Credit

Individuals or corporations who donate through the SGO Program are eligible for a tax credit equal to 50% of the donation amount against their state tax liability.

Support Financial Assistance

For the 2024–25 school year, Canterbury provided more than $3 million in financial assistance, supporting approximately 40% of our students. Contributions to the SGO Program help make a Canterbury education accessible to more families—ensuring that our mission is lived out in every classroom, for every student, regardless of their family's socio-economic status.

Support Annual Giving

In addition to directly supporting our financial assistance program, 100% of all SGO contributions count towards Canterbury's Annual Giving goal.

In addition to the state tax credit, some donations made through this program qualify for a Federal tax deduction. Please consult a tax professional about your specific tax situation.
