Seven percent makes the donor happy

Funding the Mission,
SGO
I started to title this article, "The Credits are Gone!" By the time you read this, we should be out of SGO credits. Think about that for a moment ... $7.5 million in SGO credits has been awarded in less than 12 months. That translates to $15 million in scholarship donations for nonpublic schools in Indiana. Starting July 1, thanks to our Indiana legislators, we'll have an increase to $8.5 million in SGO credits available for distribution.I changed the title after finishing a phone call with one of our faithful donors to the Lutheran SGO of Indiana's general funds. He has been making online monthly donations for several years to help students enjoy a quality, Christian education in Indiana. I suggested that he wait until July 1 for his usual donation; he attended parochial school as a child, and while he enjoys helping to provide the same opportunity for Indiana families, he also greatly appreciates the tax credit.
