CWS Announcements
Come check Lost and Found for what you may have lost and not found!
Give to CWS for FREE. Really!
If you haven't filed your 2024 taxes, you can still make a gift to the CWS Scholarship Fund at absolutely no cost to you!!
The Ohio General Assembly has established a program whereby Ohioans can receive a tax credit to use on their Ohio income tax liability for cash contributions given to certified organizations that grant scholarships to students (scholarship-granting organizations, or SGOs). The Cincinnati Waldorf School is a member of the SGO Every Child Every Family.
The maximum credit amount is currently $750 for individuals and $1,500 for married couples filing jointly. Should a taxpayer donate more than the taxpayer’s income tax liability, the credit will reduce the taxpayer’s liability to zero (it will not create a refund).
To participate:
Select ‘Contribute Today’ in the upper right-hand corner
Select Cincinnati Waldorf Schools from ‘School to Donate To’ and make your donation.
This is a HUGE opportunity for our school, and one we hope you will consider as you work on your taxes this year!
You can find more information on our website here and also at www.everychildeveryfamily.org. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Email Beth Norton at bnorton@cinciwaldorf.org or Beth McDaniel at bmcdaniel@cinciwaldorf.org. We're happy to answer any questions you have!
