Support CWS, and Receive a Credit of Up to $1,500 on Your Ohio Taxes!
Updated: Feb 25, 2025
Tax time is upon us! But before you pay your bill, consider whether you could give those dollars to the Cincinnati Waldorf School instead.
CWS is partnering with EveryChildEveryFamily so that you can designate your Ohio tax dollars to support scholarships for CWS students and families.
Donations up to $750 (individual) or $1,500 (married filing jointly) may qualify for a TAX CREDIT on your Ohio tax return — and gifts made until April 15, 2025 are eligible!
This allows you to make a gift of up to $1,500 to CWS essentially for free. FREE!
Need to hear it from the experts? Here’s a helpful article from Barnes-Dennig tax advisors.
All gifts made through EveryChildEveryFamily will be applied to the CWS Scholarship Fund and will be used to help low income families in need of tuition assistance — and giving is easy!

Please note that if you’d like to be eligible for the full $1,500 tax credit for your household, you need to make two individual contributions of $750.
Please consult your tax advisor to determine how donations impact your specific tax situation. For general questions about this program, you can also contact Beth Norton, Finance Director, at bnorton@cinciwaldorf.org.
Thank you for considering a gift that benefits families in need at potentially no cost to you!
This is such a smart way to support the school community without it actually costing anything out of pocket. It is rare to find an opportunity where you can directly choose where your tax dollars go, especially when it benefits scholarships for families who really need them. I recently saw a similar post on https://englandderbyshire.co.uk/ about local community funding initiatives that allow people to have a more direct impact on education. It really is a win-win for everyone involved. I hope plenty of families take advantage of this before the April deadline!
