The federal scholarship tax credit · begins January 1, 2027

Your community is your scholarship fund. We unlock it.

Beginning in 2027, federal law gives every taxpayer a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,700 per year for donations to approved scholarship organizations. The funds can't go to schools directly, and the process is complicated. That's the part we handle, so the people already around your school can fund your students.

1 · Your community gives

Parents, teachers, staff, and alumni each contribute up to $1,700. For employees, a payroll option keeps take-home pay unchanged.

2 · We handle everything

Materials, sign-up, eligibility, processing, and federal compliance. By law, at least 90% of funds become scholarships.

3 · Your students benefit

Tuition support, plus tutoring, technology, class trips, and equipment, at public, charter, and private schools alike.

What your school does

  • Share the materials we provide. A parent letter, a staff note, a page for your website. A few hours, total.
  • That's essentially it. Fundraising, verification, awards, payments, and reporting are all handled by the Foundation.
  • Watch the dashboard. Live totals, anonymized awards, and the audited allocation, transparent at all times.
