General Information
​
Are Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) new?
​​
Scholarship Granting Organizations are a new development in Ohio. The state legislature created a program in 2021 that offers Ohioans a 100% non-refundable tax credit against their Ohio income tax liability for contributions to an SGO. Currently, the maximum credit allowed is $750 per person or $1,500 for married couples filing jointly.
​
What is HudsonSGO?
​​
HudsonSGO is one such SGO. Its purpose is to raise funds to provide scholarships for students to attend all-day kindergarten in the Hudson City School District. Ohioans can contribute to HudsonSGO, and the funds are then allocated by the schools, with priority given to students from low-income households.
​
Who benefits from HudsonSGO?
​​
HudsonSGO benefits both students and families, who gain access to all-day kindergarten education, and Ohio taxpayers, who can receive a non-refundable tax credit for their donations, up to a maximum of $750 per person or $1,500 for married couples filing jointly, where each person separately donates $750 or more. *
​
Is the tax credit the same as a tax deduction?
​​
It is important to note that a tax credit is not the same as a tax deduction. A tax deduction reduces taxable income, while a tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit applied against any taxes paid to the State of Ohio. **
