The Gift That Lasts a Lifetime

Shepherd of the Desert Education Foundation (SOTDEF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Since 2000, we have been utilizing re-directed state tax dollars to provide need-based grants to children attending K-12 Christian schools. This year, tuition grants were awarded to 68 student families.

Building character and lifelong values through Christian education makes a difference in the lives of families. Students enrolled in private schools are more likely to graduate and pursue higher education.

Your tax credit gift to SOTDEF gives students from large families and low income families the school choice they deserve.

Thank you for taking the time to make a difference in the life of a child!
