Inside this issue
  STO CREDITS - GET THEM BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!  
  The School Tuition Organization tax credit program provides a choice in education to lower-income Iowa families.  You can donate to this program and receive a 65% state income tax credit!   Individuals, partnerships and corporations all may support the program and receive tax credits.  Only $12 million in credits are available statewide, and 3 of the 12 School Tuition Organizations have already given out their allotment of credits!  Don't get left out - contact an STO today before time - and credits - run out!   

The following STOs still have credits available - click on the direct links below or visit IowaSTO.org or the Iowa ACE STO Directory for further information. You may also contact Iowa ACE Executive Director, Trish Wilger, with any questions - phone 515.323.0687, or email twilger@iowaace.org.
