Supporting Christian Education

You have the potential to give an Ohio student a life-giving opportunity to attend a high-quality Christian school that otherwise might be unaffordable to his or her family. Even better, you can do it at no cost to yourself.

The state of Ohio’s Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) tax credit authorizes donors who contribute to K-12 student scholarships through a certified SGO to receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in their state taxes up to $750 per individual taxpayer. Your gift to the Ohio Christian Education Network SGO (OCEN SGO) will go directly to a scholarship for a student attending a participating school of your choice.

Your gift to OCEN SGO will be used to award scholarships to worthy students attending participating schools within the Ohio Christian Education Network. Simply click on the way you’d like donate button options below. You may designate which school you would like to receive the scholarship and you can be certain your gift will fund a scholarship at that school with priority given to students in financial need.

We suggest Acton Academy Lakeside, Christian Community School, Garden Christian Academy, Open Door Christian School, or Westside Christian Academy, all well represented here at Providence.

Not sure which school to bless? Garden City Christian Academy is unique from the other fine institutions on this list. It is a holistic gospel ministry serving image-bearers in the neediest parts of Cleveland. Most children entrusted to GCA’s care come from homes earning less than $20,000 annually.
