Tommy Schultz is the CEO of the American Federation for Children (AFC), the nation's largest school choice advocacy organization dedicated to empowering families — especially lower-income families — with the freedom to choose the best K-12 education for their children.
Under his leadership, AFC has helped advance school choice legislation in over a dozen states and launched the AFC Scholarship Fund, a federally qualified Scholarship Granting Organization built to serve donors and students through the Education Freedom Tax Credit.
Tax credits and vouchers both expand school choice, but they work in different ways. Understanding these differences can help families access the best educational options for their children.
