Up to $1,700 Tax Credit

You claim a dollar for dollar tax credit of up to $1,700 per year, not a tax deduction.

Why this fund

Two million students already learn, and grow in their faith, inside America’s non-Catholic religious schools — the large majority of them Christian. Your contribution lets the next child walk through those doors with tuition covered, faith reinforced, and family supported.

  1. Tuition shouldn’t decide who gets a Christian education.

    Christian schools run lean and price low, and it still isn’t low enough for the families who want in most. Your contribution closes the gap between what a family can pay and what the school costs to run.

  2. A biblical worldview isn’t a class period. It’s the whole day.

    It’s in the literature, the science, the way a disagreement on the playground gets handled. Your gift gives more families access to that on purpose, and not by chance.

  3. These schools partner with parents. They don’t replace them.

    Parents stay the ones raising their children in the faith; the school spends six hours a day backing them up. Your gift keeps that partnership within reach of families who can’t buy their way into it.

The result: more children in Christian classrooms, one gift at a time.
