Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes. Donations to CHCA (EIN: 31-0660833) are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. To receive 2025 tax credit, please make your gift by 11:59 p.m. on December 31 or have your mailed gift postmarked by that date. For personal tax questions, consult your tax advisor.
How do I give from my donor-advised fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund is one of the easiest and most tax-smart ways to support CHCA. You can recommend a grant at any time—and even set up recurring gifts—helping our students now and in the future.
It’s simple:
- Recommend a grant to:
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy
Tax ID: 31-1225392
- Let us know so we can direct your gift and thank you.
- Or give online by choosing “Donor-Advised Fund” on our Giving Page.

What about IRA distributions?
If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to CHCA. This qualified charitable distribution (QCD) counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income—all while blessing our students in a lasting way.
How it works:
- Contact your IRA administrator and request a direct transfer to:
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy
Tax ID: 31-1225392
- Ask them to include your name and gift purpose so we can thank you.
- Let us know it’s on the way so we can confirm receipt and celebrate your generosity.
Can I give an appreciated stock?
A gift of appreciated stock could reduce what you owe in capital gains tax while increasing your support for our students. Consult your tax advisor for further guidance.
To make a stock gift, provide your broker with the following details:
- Brokerage Firm: Fifth Third Securities, Inc.
- DTC Number: 0443
- Account Name: Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy
- F/A/O: F3C703590
- Tax ID: 31-1225392
Once your gift is made, please notify us at development@chca-oh.org or (513) 247-9944 so we can properly acknowledge your generosity.
What are employer matching gifts and how do they work?
Many companies will match your gift—some even triple it—at no cost to you. It’s an easy way to increase your impact for CHCA students.
How it works:
- Check your eligibility with your employer’s HR or community giving program.
- Submit your matching gift request—it usually takes just a few minutes.
- Your company sends the match directly to CHCA, multiplying your generosity.
What is the Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), and how do I give to CHCA through it?
The SGO is an incredible way to advance Christian education using tax money you already owe to the state of Ohio. When you give to CHCA through the SGO, you’ll receive a dollar-for-dollar credit toward your Ohio state tax liability, reducing what you owe while funding scholarships for students across our campuses. Gifts made online through April 15, 2026, are eligible for 2025 state tax credit.
Visit the SGO page for more information on how to impact CHCA with your redirected tax dollars.
