The Our Faith STO provided more than $3.9 million in student scholarship awards to over 2700 students attending the Archdiocese of Dubuque schools for the 2024-2025 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 $25 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.
