"Since its inception several years ago, each tax year I have made a contribution to Empower Illinois. This contribution provides a 75% state tax credit. The entire contribution goes to a Providence student’s tuition. As a current member of the Providence family, and as a proud parent of four alums, I am always looking for ways to help prospective families who desire to send their child to Providence but do not have the financial means to make that happen. Each year we have students at Providence who fund their education through the Empower tuition tax credit program thanks to the generous donors.
I would highly encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to help these prospective students. Remember, for every dollar you contribute, you save 75 cents in state taxes!"
