Mission Statement

The Catholic Tuition Organization (CTO), Diocese of Des Moines, provides tuition grants for students whose family income is less than 400% of the federal poverty level (based on family size) so they can attend one of 16 Catholic elementary and high schools within the Diocese.

About This Cause

CTO donors receive a 75% Iowa tax credit for their donation. As a recognized school tuition organization by the State of Iowa, we are assigned more than $3 million per year in state income tax credits, which we are able to award to donors interested in supporting needy families who wish to enroll in a Catholic school (grades Kindergarten through grade 12). Under state law, CTO is required to distribute at least 90% of our annual revenue in tuition grants in the upcoming school year. Qualifying families receive tuition assistance based on their financial need, as demonstrated by the submission of federal tax forms to a third-party vendor. The students attend one 16 rural and urban Catholic schools in southwest Iowa. For more information, go online to www.CTOIowa.org.
