** If you are making an SGO Scholarship Gift to receive tax credit, make your check payable to The Oaks Fund at Sagamore.
 

Thanks to the Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit, SGO scholarship gifts can be doubled or even tripled for a similar out-of-pocket cost for our supporters.

When you give through The Sagamore Institute, an Indiana Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), you are providing critical, income-based scholarships to Oaks students whose families cannot afford full tuition on their own and will receive significant state tax credit. SGO scholarship gifts can be made in cash, stock, or property.
 

You can make a gift directly (EIN 35-2050595) from all donor-advised funds, from wealth managers like Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments, charitable gift funds, and local community foundations like the Central Indiana Community Foundation and National Christian Foundation. Individual names are often not included on DAF transactions so please let us know when you initiate your gift so we can properly recognize your generosity.

** Unfortunately, DAF gifts do not qualify for the SGO program.
 

Appreciated stock gives you the most tax savings, especially when donated as an SGO scholarship gift. Through the SGO program, Initiating the process by mid-December ensures your gift receives that particular calendar year’s tax deduction.

To gift stock through the SGO program, start the process online here. To gift stock directly to The Oaks, begin here.
 

As an operating charity, we can accept qualified charitable distributions (QCD), also known as IRA charitable rollovers. If you are 70 ½ or older, your IRA is eligible for QCD, allowing you to give meaningfully while reducing your taxable income and avoiding phaseouts. You can gift all or part of your distribution without paying income taxes on it. 

Simply name your distribution to “The Oaks Academy” before December 31 to meet your annual required minimum distribution and receive a great tax benefit. Checks can be made payable to The Oaks Academy and mailed to any of our campuses.
