Fighting so every child has easy access to the school that empowers them to reach their fullest potential.

Federal tax credit could steer $10 billion to private school scholarships 04/09/2025

Nonprofit agencies that give private-school scholarships to low-income families say they expect Congress to pass tax credit legislation handing them $10 billion for another 2 million students.

The Educational Choice for Children Act would allow taxpayers to deduct up to 10% of their adjusted gross income and corporations up to 5% of taxable income as donations to private K-12 scholarship funds. It builds on policies in 21 states, including Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona, allowing similar deductions on state tax returns.

Our mission is simple: Every child has easy access to the school that empowers them to reach their fullest potential.

The time for incremental change is over. Every child deserves access to the education that maximizes their potential.

Building a sustainable movement for choice requires bringing together everyone who wants better options for Illinois students.

School choice isn't a partisan issue—it's about basic fairness and lifting children out of poverty.

The Invest In Kids scholarship program is no more, but our work is just beginning.
