The Our Faith STO is a charitable organization representing all of the Catholic K-12 schools in the Archdiocese of Dubuque and St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Waverly, IA. The STO receives voluntary cash contributions from Iowa taxpayers and allocates those funds in tuition grants to Iowa school children, who in turn, use those grants to attend one of the schools represented by the STO.

The Our Faith STO provided more than $4.12 million in student scholarship awards to 2,954 students attending the Archdiocese of Dubuque schools for the 2021-2022 school year.
As an Iowa taxpayer, you can contribute to the STO and now receive an Iowa tax credit equal to 75% of your contribution. The amount you contribute qualifies as a charitable donation on your federal tax return as well. To date, donors to our STO have saved more than $20 million on their Iowa income taxes.
Additionally, C and S corporations, LLCs, estates, and trusts that file an Iowa tax return can also benefit from this tax credit program.
