Education Freedom Tax Credit

Unlocking educational freedom for Jewish families across America

What is the Education Freedom Tax Credit?

Beginning in January 2027, this federal initiative empowers families by generating funding for scholarships that allow K-12 students to choose the educational environment that meets their unique needs. Donors receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit (up to $1,700), making this a powerful, cost-effective way to expand opportunities without compromising public school funding.

How Does It Work?

Individual donors can receive up to $1,700 per year as a 100% federal tax credit. Excess credits can be carried forward for up to 5 years. This is a no-cost vehicle to support Jewish education while reducing your tax liability dollar-for-dollar.

Who Benefits?

Scholarships are provided to students from households earning up to 300% of the area median income who are enrolled or eligible to enroll in public school. Scholarship funds can be used for private school tuition, educational technology, tutoring, special education services, and more.
