Dear Friends,
In
2012, the Commonwealth of Virginia approved a 65% tax credit for donations made
to approved scholarship foundations that provide educational grants to needy
students wishing to attend eligible private schools. In response to this
significant opportunity, the Diocese of Arlington Scholarship Foundation (DASF)
was created to provide scholarships to new students from low-income families
who meet the financial need requirements established by the Commonwealth of
Virginia and wish to attend a diocesan Catholic school.
Our
Catholic schools are committed to providing a quality education rooted in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ where Catholic doctrine and values, and academic
excellence prepare each student for a life of faith, service and integrity. To
date, the DASF has helped more than 720 underprivileged children realize the
dream of attending a Catholic school in our diocese, something their families
never thought was possible!
What
further sets the Scholarship Foundation apart is that qualified donations are eligible
for a 65% Virginia State tax credit, as well as qualifying for a charitable tax
deduction. I hope you will consider this unique opportunity to give a child the
gift of a Catholic education while gaining a very beneficial tax credit for
your donation. This insert provides an annual financial to exhibit our
stewardship of gifts received for donations to this Foundation. Please feel
free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely in Christ,
Dr. Joseph Vorbach
Superintendent of Schools
