The regulation offers taxpayers a federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for contributions made to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). SGOs provide scholarships to students for education-related services at private or public schools, including supports such as afterschool programming. The parameters and rules around this new policy are not yet set, and key levers will affect whether and how the credit functions in your area.
The Afterschool Alliance aims to inform the development and implementation of the tax credit policy so that it has the greatest potential to help local afterschool and summer learning programs provide quality programming. Once the regulation is set, funding available for students and programs in your state will depend on the actions of parents, nonprofits, program providers, and lawmakers.
