It's not too late to learn about 2022 contributions to benefit Illinois Tax Credit Scholarships. As an example, a $1000 contribution will cost you only $250 after a 75% state income tax credit and will be matched 1-for-1. That means your after-tax final cost of $250 will result in $2000 for financial aid scholarships for Archdiocese of Chicago schools, or you can simply designate Queen of All Saints School itself to receive those funds.
Sounds too good to be true? It's for real. The last few weeks we talked about the first steps in becoming a donor—requesting a Letter ID and reserving your state tax credit. This week, let’s look at the final step—making your contribution to the future of Catholic education.

You will be directed to the Empower Illinois donation wizard—just follow their simple directions from this point.
When it comes to specifying the recipients of your donation please remember Queen of All Saints School. Please also know that you will have the sincere gratitude of the children, teachers and parents of our school and the knowledge that you are preparing the way for another generation whose minds and hearts are formed by the traditions of Catholic education.
