consider this opportunity BEFORE you file your tax return
Up to $750 of your Ohio state income tax can be redirected to CVCA – reducing your state taxes by the amount you donate! Or, you can DOUBLE your impact! Up to $1,500 can be redirected if you file a joint tax return with your spouse. When you make a donation to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), it will offset your taxes owed by the amount you donate and directly benefits CVCA scholarships. Watch this quick video to see how easy it really is.
Support CVCA scholarships in a way that costs you nothing. Why wouldn’t you want to do this? Make your donation HERE today!
Questions? Contact John Harabedian, CVCA’s Director of Development at 330-929-0575, ext. 324 or email jharabedian@cvcaroyals.org. More information is also available HERE.
