Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program

 

Last year, the State of Illinois created a new way to fund scholarships for children who choose to attend Catholic schools through the “Invest in Kids Act.”   Under the IllinoisTax Credit Scholarship Program and the “Invest in Kids Act”, individuals and corporations make donations to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGO) that distribute scholarships to qualified students.

 

You can designate your contribution to support a student attending All Saints Catholic Academy, and receive a 75% credit on your state of Illinois tax liability.  Remember that a tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction of your tax liability.  For example, if you donate $1,000 under the Tax Credit Scholarship Program, you will receive a tax credit equal to 75% of your donation, or $750.   

 

Yes, this is For Real.  

 

• The tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction of the amount a tax that an individual or corporation owes to the State of Illinois. 
• Donors will be able to designate their donation to an individual school - All Saints Catholic Academy.

 

Why pay money to the State of Illinois, when those monies can help a child at All Saints Catholic Academy.

The Annual Fund Appeal is an opportunity for ASCA supporters to contribute to the school. This program provides funds for school budget needs in areas such as staff development, technology and program enhancement. Many of our donors’ employers provide matching gifts to increase overall Annual Fund receipts. The Annual Fund Appeal will begin in November and conclude during Catholic Schools Week in February; however, your donation is greatly appreciated in any amount at any time.   

Your check payable to “ASCA Annual Fund” can be dropped off at, or mailed to, to the school office.  It will help us to accurately record your gift if you use the ASCA Annual Fund Reply Card.

If you prefer to donate on-line, you can use the Annual Fund Appeal “Click ‘n Pledge” screen here.

We are grateful for all your interest and support!

Many of our supporters have benefited from a Catholic education as they were growing up, and others have heard of All Saints from family or friends. If you would like to make a gift to help a child attend All Saints Catholic Academy who might otherwise not be able to, your donation can be directed to General Scholarship, or to one of three specific funds:

• “Change A Life Fund” primarily benefits lower-income Latino students from nearby communities;
• “Faith in Their Future Fund” benefits students from families in need who reside in our founding Naperville parishes;
• “Betsy Stiff Memorial Fund” benefits students with mental or physical challenges.

 Our “All Are Welcome!” Scholarships Brochure further explains how you might help by "adopting a student."  If you prefer to donate on-line, you can use our website’s “Click ‘n Pledge” payment option for Scholarship.

Thank you for considering a general donation to All Saints Catholic Academy. You may send a check to ASCA, 1155 Aurora Avenue, Naperville, IL 60540. If a credit card online donation is more convenient, we use the “Click ‘n Pledge” service to provide secure processing of your credit card donations. We welcome your donation to our ASCA Future Fund using this service.

SCRIP is a convenient and powerful fundraising program which earns money for the school, helps school families satisfy their Family Fundraising Obligation, and can even generate future year's tuition credit through the purchase of gift cards/certificates to establishments where the buyer is already shopping anyway!

These gift cards and certificates carry full purchasing power and generate revenue for our school families which range from 4% or 5% (Mariano's, Jewel, Koh's, JCPenney) to 10% and higher (Macy's, Gap, Lands' End)!

Run With The Saints/Boosterthon Pledge Drive and Fun Run

 

We hope that your student has been sharing the excitement of our Run With The Saints/Boosterthon pledge drive, the upcoming Fun Run on Thursday, May 3, and our virtues/character theme of Castle Quest.  We held a rousing kick off Pep Rally that we celebrated this past Tuesday, and challenged the students with some 'Mrs. Santos incentives'.  If your student did not share them with you, here are those incentives:

 

1. If we reach $12,000 in pledges by the end of the school day tomorrow, Friday, April 27, Mrs. Santos will wear a complete All Saints school uniform for an entire week.  Well, lets say that Mrs. Santos is very afraid, as we are currently at $11,300 - so close!!!!!  If you have not registered yet, or entered your pledges, please get that done so we can enjoy Mrs. Santos 'in uniform'! 
2. If we reach our goal of $25,000 in pledges by the Fun Run on Thursday, May 3, Mrs. Santos will move her office/desk to the All Saints school roof for an entire day.  How fun will this be for our students to be able to observe their principal at work!   Let's just hope that our students are on their very best behavior on that day.    

So, if you are wondering what to do next to get in on the fun and to help us to meet our goals, please read on (note that every student participates, and no pledge is too small!):

 

Registration is now open at www.funrun.com

1. Create an account at www.funrun.com (only one per household needed)
2. Use Access Code 382638 to identify with ASCA
3. Register your student/s
4. (Optional) You can upload a photo that will be inserted in a funny video clip for you to email, text, and post to FB
5. Copy & share student link with friends and relatives for pledges!

Parents, you may be asking yourself, “What’s the best way to get a pledge?” Answer: STUDENT STAR VIDEO! Parents who send a Student Star video to friends and family raise more than those who don’t. It’s the EASIEST and BEST way to ask for a pledge, plus this hilarious video will have your friends and family in stitches. Simply log in to FUNRUN.COM, click the “Create Student Star Video” button, upload a photo of your child, and SHARE it using the share functions—Facebook, email, etc.  https://vimeo.com/208746377/be63c6ab42

In addition to fundraising, our students will be exploring an amazing character theme called Castle Quest throughout the two-week event.

On their personal quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the “SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO” from a cast of colorful characters.

 

Let's hit our $25,000 goal!!!
