FAITH ISLAMIC ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

Investing in education is a powerful way to shape a brighter future. By supporting the Faith Islamic Academy Scholarship Foundation, you not only make a positive impact but also enjoy tax benefits. Your donation offers triple advantages:

• Empower deserving students: Your support removes financial obstacles, enabling them to pursue academic excellence and become future leaders and innovators.

• Tax savings: Benefit from a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $750 (or $1,500 for married couples filing jointly) on your Ohio income tax return, providing immediate tax relief and enhancing the rewards of your generosity.

• Zero cost to you: Contribute without any out-of-pocket expenses! Redirect your tax dollars to support a worthy cause, making it essentially cost-free for you.

If you owe taxes to Ohio, your donation qualifies you for a 100% tax credit, allowing you to redirect funds that would otherwise go to the state.
