In 2011, the state legislature authorized generous tax credits for donors to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs), like the Opportunity Scholarship Fund (OSF). Tax credits directly reduce the state taxes you pay on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Any individual, family, or business paying taxes in Oklahoma is eligible to contribute to the fund and receive tax credits. All donors making a single year donation are eligible for Oklahoma tax credits of 50% of the allowable donation amount. The amount of tax credits may not exceed $1,000 for individual filers, $2,000 for those filing jointly, and $100,000 for businesses. Donors who pledge to give the same amount over TWO years will receive a 75% credit for BOTH years. The annual tax credit limitations apply.

"I know that OSF works from firsthand experience. When I completed my taxes, I owed the state more than usual, until I reminded my accountant that I had given to OSF. I ended up getting a refund instead!"
