About Us

Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future School Tuition Organization (STO) is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization representing all of the Catholic K-12 schools in the Archdiocese of Dubuque as well as St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Waverly. The STO receives voluntary cash contributions from Iowa taxpayers and allocates those funds in tuition grants to Iowa school children whose family income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level. They in turn, use those grants to attend one of the schools represented by the STO. At least 90% of the STO money received must go back out in tuition grants within the year.

Your donation to the Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future STO gives the gift of school choice to Iowa families regardless of their financial situation. With this gift, families have the ability to choose the educational setting that best meets the needs of their children.
