Endow Kentucky Tax Credit
In 2017, Martha Ballard Diebold ('73) and husband Frank, generously established a permanent endowment fund for Bethlehem High School through the Louisville Community Foundation. By making a gift to this existing permanent endowment fund, you may qualify for a state tax credit in addition to your Federal tax deduction. This is a tax-wise way to support Bethlehem and create a lasting legacy.
