Join Matt and Jamison for an in-depth look at the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC), a historic federal tax provision set to launch on January 1, 2027. After over a decade of advocacy, this landmark initiative offers a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,700 per taxpayer for donations made to non-profit Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs).
In this episode, Jamison provides insights from recent White House meetings, detailing how the EFTC empowers families to escape underperforming public systems for private education that meets their academic and spiritual needs. The hosts clarify that this is strictly a tax provision, not a federal education program, a distinction vital for protecting the autonomy and religious liberty of AACS schools from government interference.
With 27 states already opted in, the potential impact is massive—up to $25 billion annually for educational choice. Learn how AACS has established its own SGO to serve member schools and discover how you can prepare to reclaim your tax dollars to benefit the next generation of students.
