Illinois Tax Credit Scholarships Information - Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School
Illinois’ tax credit scholarship program through the “Invest in Kids” Act provides strong incentives for
donors to support non-public school scholarships for low-income students in the state. Illinois students
may use these new scholarships to attend Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School. In 2021, more
than 2,000 students were awarded scholarships. Last year, 18 students applied to CJB but due to
insufficient funding, only one student was awarded this opportunity. Your tax-deductible donation
provides the gift of Catholic education.
To help donations have even more impact, several donors have agreed to pool their resources and offer a 2-for-1
matching gift program to schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago. This means for every dollar designated to a qualifying
school through the Empower Illinois scholarship granting organization beginning Dec. 1, 2021, the school will receive
two dollars in matching funds. The program will end when all matching funds have been depleted. New donors who
would like to receive the tax credit for their 2021 taxes should begin the process prior to Dec. 15, 2021 to ensure that they
have enough time to make their gift by Dec. 31, 2021. Consider applying for your tax credit today. To review the
process, visit https://schools.archchicago.org/donating-to-a-tax-credit-scholarship.
For information on how you can benefit from Tax Credit Scholarship opportunities
for Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School (CJB) for the 2022/23 school year, please attend an
informational meeting at CJB on Tuesday, December 14. Call 708.403.6525 for meeting time and room
location. CJB is located at 9520 W. 167th Street, Orland Hills (next to St. Elizabeth Seton Church).

YEAR END CONTRIBUTIONS
Due to IRS Regulations, all contributions received through December 31 will be recorded as a 2021 contribution. Contributions made on
January 1, 2022 or after are required by law to be recorded as a 2022 contribution regardless of the type of envelope used or the date written
on the check.
If a contribution dated in December was mailed to the Parish office and postmarked on or before December 31 it will be recorded as a 2021
contribution. However, all contributions delivered to the Parish Office in person or postmarked on or after January 1 must be recorded as a
2022 contribution. Therefore, even if a check was dated in December 2021, but mailed or delivered to the Parish office in January, that
contribution must be recorded as a 2022 contribution.
We thank you for your generosity and are truly grateful for all you do for St. Julie Billiart. The 2021 Contribution tax statements will be
emailed to parishioners for whom we have email addresses. Please check your spam folder! If we do not have your email address, they will
be sent through the United States Postal Service. Tax statements are only issued to those who have contributed in excess of $250.

LEGACY PLANNING
Please Prayerfully Consider Remembering St. Julie Billiart in Your Will
Jesus told us, “Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.” So every day, we have the opportunity to see the face of
Jesus in others and be the face of Jesus to others. When considering which charities to include in your will or trust, we hope you will
remember our parish. A bequest may be made to the parish using the following language:
“I give [insert specific dollar amount, or percentage of net or residuary] to The Catholic Bishop of Chicago, Tax ID #36-2170826,
a corporation sole located in Chicago, Illinois, to be used for the benefit of St. Julie Billiart located in Tinley Park, Illinois.
However, if St. Julie Billiart ceases to exist in its current form, then to the new parish or parishes erected in its stead.”
Please consult an attorney and financial advisor when drafting your will or trust. Please contact St. Julie parish 708.429.6767 or
contact Krystina M. Campbell, Planned Giving Officer, Archdiocese of Chicago at 312.534.5404 or kcampbell@archchicago.org.
