STO (School Tuition Organization)

STO is an Archdiocese of Dubuque program that gives donors a 65% State of Iowa tax credit. Most medium to high incomes save another 25-35% in Federal Income Tax on their donation. The combined income tax saving can be 90% or more. The donor can designate 50% of the donation to the Catholic school system of his or her choice. The remaining 50% of the donation goes to Catholic schools throughout the Archdiocese. The funds provide tuition assistance to students from low income families attending Catholic schools in the Archdiocese
