The Empower Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship is an amazing way to help Our Lady of Grace and our students. Donors have until the end of this month to contribute.
• For the 2020-2021 we were able to fully fund 2 students totaling $9,000.
• Another 21 students were eligible for the scholarships if more funds were available.
Individual and corporate donors make contributions to qualified scholarship granting organizations who then fund scholarships. In turn, donors are eligible to receive a 75% state tax credit. This is a win-win for everyone: donors receive a state tax credit, students get a great education, and it relieves stress off our parishes! If your company has a matching funds program, you can use it in addition to Empower Illinois!
Yesterday, we were told that donors will be able to make their Tax Credit Scholarship gift via credit card. This makes it even easier for our donors! All major credit cards will be accepted, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. More information can be found at https://empowerillinois.org/donate/. We hope this option will encourage our donors even more!
Thanks to all our generous donors!

Mark your calendars for Nov. 18! Time spent reading together is one of the most valuable gifts a family can share because early reading sets young people on the path to lifelong learning. To promote family reading, Illinois Secretary of State, Jesse White, established Family Reading Night, an evening when families can spend time reading together. This year is the 30th anniversary of this reading program.
Don't forget to write your minutes read down on the Million Minutes Challenge reading log and help our school reach ONE MILLION minutes read together this school year.
