Starting January 1, 2027, taxpayers can make contributions to scholarship granting organizations like Opportunity Scholarships of Nebraska and qualify for a federal income tax credit. Keep your tax dollars in Nebraska, and give hope to local kids... it's a no-brainer!
How does the Education Freedom Tax Credit work?
Using the Education Freedom Tax Credit, taxpayers can receive a credit of up to $1,700 (or $3400 for joint filers) for contributions made to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) that would otherwise have been owed to the government in Federal income taxes. A tax credit reduces the amount of Federal income tax owed dollar-for-dollar (unlike a deduction, which decreases taxable income). The tax credit is available to any individual who is a citizen or resident of one of the States or the District of Columbia and makes qualified contribution(s) to SGO(s) during the taxable year.
Through OSN, you can designate a significant portion of your gift to support students attending Lourdes Central Catholic, rather than a specific child. For Lourdes families, these scholarships can help reduce tuition costs and make Catholic education more affordable, giving more children the opportunity to learn, grow in faith, and develop their God-given gifts.
