OPT IN FOR OUR KIDS - Stronger Together. Better for Illinois.

A federal tax credit scholarship program for K-12 Education

  • Benefits ALL types of schools. Can add up to almost $2 billion in new resources to public and private schools. It doesn’t take from existing funding.

  • Supported by Illinoisans. Nearly 7 in 10 Illinoisans support opting into this program.

  • Keeps Illinois dollars here. If Illinois doesn’t opt in, it has been reported that people will donate up to $1 billion to schools in other states to receive the tax credit.

  • Opportunity for public and private school families to work together for a common goal – to support ILLINOIS kids.

It’s a tax credit. It’s voluntary. It’s popular. It works.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Taxpayer contributes to a scholarship granting organization which uses the funds to support scholarships for K-12 students.

  • Taxpayer receives tax credit for their donation.

WHO BENEFITS

  • Students from ALL backgrounds

  • Kids in public, private and faith-based schools.
