Ways to Support Roger Bacon High School

Your generosity helps keep a Roger Bacon education strong, affordable, and rooted in the Franciscan tradition. Below are several meaningful ways you can make a difference for our Spartans and how to support!

Annual Fund Drive (AFD)

The Annual Fund Drive covers the “funding gap” between the cost of tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. Every gift directly impacts our students by providing classroom resources, extracurricular opportunities, and a faith-based education. Click here to learn more about our Annual Fund Drive!

How to support the AFD:

• Securely Online - https://www.rogerbacon.org/giving/donate (choose Annual Fund)
• Mail - Checks can be mailed to 4320 Vine Street - Cincinnati OH 45217
• Venmo @RogerBacon

Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)

A gift through our Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) helps provide need-based scholarships for Roger Bacon students. Eligible Ohio taxpayers may receive a state income tax credit of up to $750 per person, or $1,500 for a married couple filing jointly, limited by their Ohio tax liability. Each spouse should make a separate gift to claim the full joint amount.

Give Directly from your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Roger Bacon. A QCD can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), if you have one, and may be excluded from your taxable income. Contact your IRA administrator to arrange a direct gift.

If you are 59½ years older, you can generally take a distribution from your IRA without an early withdrawal penalty and then make a gift to Roger Bacon. This is different from a QCD: the distribution may be taxable, although you may qualify for a charitable deduction if you itemize.
