Tax Credits for DONORS

Transform Giving Into Opportunity


In addition to supporting Indiana students and families through a range of programs, the Institute for Quality Education (IQE) operates a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). Through the SGO, IQE provides scholarships to eligible PreK–12 students attending participating partner schools across Indiana. These scholarships are funded through private donations, and individuals or businesses who contribute receive a state tax credit equal to 50% of their donation.
