Saint Mary’s Catholic School has been providing quality Catholic education in Washington County, Ohio since 1896. As we look into the future, we see many challenges. The most formidable of these challenges is the continual struggle to keep tuition affordable. The school budget is presently met through a combination of tuition, church collections, and various fundraising efforts. The SMS foundation was established with the long-term goal of providing a significant annual contribution to the school budget.
Careful planning of a gift to the SMS Foundation can help maximize the benefits to you and SMS. Federal income, estate and gift tax law encourages individuals and their families to make gifts to charities like the SMS Foundation.
As with all financial considerations, we encourage you to discuss potential tax advantages and other aspects of charitable giving with your attorney, tax advisor, or financial consultant. All gifts to SMS Foundation are tax deductible as stated in the IRS Code.
