Stay Informed - Join Our Interest List

Anticipated program launch: 2027

An Opportunity to Make a Difference

Through the Catholic Tax Credit Scholarship Fund of South Florida, the Archdiocese of Miami is preparing to connect this opportunity with its mission of making Catholic education more accessible to children and families throughout South Florida. Your contribution can help open doors to Catholic education while potentially reducing your federal income tax liability.

How Does It Work?

Support Education

Beginning in 2027, eligible taxpayers may contribute to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) approved by a participating state. The Catholic Tax Credit Scholarship Fund of South Florida is preparing to seek approval as an SGO in Florida.

Receive a Federal Tax Credit

Qualifying contributions may be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 per individual taxpayer, or potentially up to $3,400 for married couples filing jointly when both spouses make qualifying contributions, subject to applicable federal requirements. Qualifying contributions must be made in the form of cash, including payments by check, electronic funds transfer (EFT), credit card, or debit card.

Note: The same dollars cannot generate both the tax credit and a charitable deduction.

Open Doors for Students

Contributions help fund scholarships that provide eligible students with greater access to educational opportunities, including Catholic education. Note: While contributions can be earmarked for a particular school, they cannot be designated for a particular student, including your own child.

Fondo de Becas Católicas con Crédito Fiscal del Sur de la Florida

Una iniciativa de la Arquidiócesis de Miami

Su crédito fiscal. Su educación católica.

¿Qué pasaría si su crédito fiscal federal pudiera ayudar a cambiar el futuro de un niño, dándole una educación católica?

A partir de 2027, un nuevo crédito fiscal federal para becas ofrecerá a los contribuyentes que califiquen la oportunidad de apoyar la educación de K-12, incluidas nuestras escuelas católicas, y al mismo tiempo recibir un crédito fiscal federal, dólar por dólar, de hasta $1,700 por contribuyente individual, o posiblemente hasta $3,400 para matrimonios que presentan la declaración en conjunto cuando ambos cónyuges hacen contribuciones que califiquen, sujeto a los requisitos federales aplicables.

Manténgase informado - Únase a nuestra lista de interesados

Lanzamiento previsto del programa: 2027

Una oportunidad para marcar la diferencia

A través del Catholic Tax Credit Scholarship Fund of South Florida, la Arquidiócesis de Miami se está preparando para conectar esta oportunidad con su misión de hacer la educación católica más accesible para niños y familias en todo el sur de la Florida. Su contribución puede ayudar a abrir las puertas a la educación católica y, al mismo tiempo, reducir potencialmente su impuesto federal sobre la renta.

¿Cómo funciona?

Apoye la educación

A partir de 2027, los contribuyentes que califiquen podrán contribuir a una Organización que Otorga Becas (SGO) aprobada por un estado participante. El Catholic Tax Credit Scholarship Fund of South Florida se está preparando para solicitar su aprobación como SGO en la Florida.

Reciba un crédito fiscal federal

Las contribuciones que califiquen pueden recibir un crédito fiscal federal, dólar por dólar, de hasta $1,700 por contribuyente individual, o posiblemente hasta $3,400 para matrimonios que presentan la declaración en conjunto cuando ambos cónyuges hacen contribuciones que califiquen, sujeto a los requisitos federales aplicables. Las contribuciones que califiquen deben hacerse en efectivo, incluidos los pagos con cheque, transferencia electrónica de fondos (EFT), tarjeta de crédito o tarjeta de débito.

Nota: Los mismos dólares no pueden generar a la vez un crédito fiscal y una deducción por donación caritativa.

Abra puertas para los estudiantes

Las contribuciones ayudan a financiar becas que dan a los estudiantes que califiquen mayor acceso a oportunidades educativas, incluida la educación católica. Nota: Aunque las contribuciones se pueden destinar a una escuela en particular, no se pueden designar para un estudiante en particular, incluido su propio hijo.

Sea de los primeros en enterarse

El Catholic Tax Credit Scholarship Fund of South Florida se está preparando para su lanzamiento previsto en 2027. Ya sea que le interese contribuir, explorar oportunidades de becas para su familia o saber cómo funciona el programa, lo invitamos a mantenerse informado.

No se requiere ninguna contribución ni compromiso en este momento. Al inscribirse, recibirá información y novedades a medida que se desarrolle el programa.

Message from Fr. Milton

Dear St. Martha Parish Family,

As we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints this weekend. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our parishioners who have generously supported the 2026 Archbishop's Charities and Development Drive (ABCD). The saints remind us that holiness is not only found in extraordinary acts but also in the simple ways we love and serve one another. Your generosity is a beautiful expression of that love, faith and solidarity with our brothers and sisters throughout the Archdiocese of Miami.

As we approach our parish goal, I encourage everyone to continue supporting this important mission. Every contribution, regardless of its size, is a blessing and a reminder that together, as one Church, united in the Body of Christ, we can accomplish much more than we could alone.

Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your commitment to the mission of the Church. As we honor all the saints, may their example inspire us to continue growing in holiness through our love of God and service to one another. May the Lord bless you and your families abundantly.

In Christ,

Fr. Milton J. Martinez
Parochial Administrator
