Contribute
Taxpayers may contribute up to $1,700 to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO).
Pledge Your Tax Dollars.
Give Every Child a Jewish Education.
Beginning January 2027, taxpayers can redirect up to $1,700 they already owe toward scholarships for Jewish day school families - at no cost to them.
Why This is different
This Isn't a Donation Drive.
Every year, communities ask families to give more so schools can do more. This is different.
Beginning January 2027, the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit lets taxpayers redirect money they already owe - dollar for dollar - into scholarships for Jewish education. Nothing new comes out of your pocket. It is not about giving more. It is about redirecting what is already there, at scale, for the first time.
Your pledge today is a non-binding signal of support - for any of our partner schools, or for the initiative as a whole - that helps schools across the community plan ahead for January 2027.

Your pledge is a non-binding commitment to direct your tax dollars when the tax credit goes live starting in January 2027, and is intended now for planning and forecasting purposes only.
Add your name to the community goal
Join taxpayers across our partner schools who are helping build a stronger, more affordable future for Jewish education.
A good estimate of your total tax liability can be found by referencing Line 22 of your most recent Form 1040 (assuming your situation hasn't changed much).
