Northwest Iowa Christian Schools Tuition Organization (NICSTO) represents sixteen Christian schools throughout Northwest Iowa who benefit directly from donations to NICSTO. It is designed to promote the expansion of school choice for the benefit of Iowa's students, our children and grandchildren.
A donor who pays state income taxes will receive a 75% tax credit toward their state income taxes due. For example, if you owe $6,500 in state income taxes, a $10,000 donation would eliminate your state income tax. Additionally, you can direct the donation to the school of your choice.
Questions? The donation must be done with care, so be sure to talk with a tax accountant before taking action. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact Thomas De Jong, Financial Planner, at (712) 722-0278, or Pete Van Velzen, the director of NICSTO, at (712) 348-6106
