Ohio SGO Tax Credit
Give Through the Mansfield Christian School SGO Program
At Mansfield Christian School, every gift makes a direct impact on students and families. Now, thanks to Ohio’s Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) program, you can support Christian education at no net cost to you.
When you donate through OCEN’s SGO and designate your gift to Mansfield Christian, you receive a dollar for dollar tax credit on your Ohio state taxes up to $750 per individual or $1,500 per married couple filing jointly. That means if you give $750, your state tax bill is reduced by $750. It is one of the easiest and most meaningful ways to support our mission.
This is more than a donation. It is a chance to redirect your tax dollars to directly impact MCS students, helping families access Christ-centered education without costing you a cent more.
$750 Donation = $750 Tax Credit
Many families want to support Christian schools but feel limited by financial pressures. The SGO program removes that barrier. Instead of your tax dollars disappearing into the state budget, you decide where they go and you choose to invest in the future of Mansfield Christian students.
With this program:
- No extra cost: You receive a tax credit equal to your gift.
- Direct impact: Your dollars fund scholarships for MCS students.
- Kingdom investment: You help make Christian education possible for more families.
Think of it as stewardship. These are tax dollars you are already obligated to pay, but instead of sending them to the state, you get to redirect them toward a cause you believe in.

After many years at Mansfield Christian, I can say with confidence that this is more than a school. It’s a place where students are known, families are supported, and Christ is at the center of everything we do.
As Admissions Director, I’ve helped many families walk through this important decision. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow in faith, character, and academics, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d be happy to answer your questions or personally take you on a tour.
