IL Tax Credit Scholarships
A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a state-certified 501(c)(3) that administers the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program and awards financial assistance to Illinois students (K-12) who do not have the economic means to attend a private school like CRSM. Contributions made through an SGO feature a 75% state tax credit to all Illinois residents and corporations. Click here to read more about this vehicle of giving.
Cash Or Check
Cash gifts and checks may be mailed to:
Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep
Attn: Development Office

Waukegan, IL 60085
Please make checks payable to Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep and be sure to indicate your giving designation, if any, in the memo line.
Matching Gifts
A number of employers participate in a matching gift program, granting you the opportunity to double or even triple your contribution to CRSM. Check with your Human Resources Department to find out if your company matches charitable gifts.
Gifts Of Stock
Giving appreciated stock to CRSM is a strategic way to avoid capital gains taxes, while supporting our mission and students.
