Donate

Your gift fuels a student’s success and offers you a significant tax credit.

Indiana’s tax credit program and the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program (FSTCP) each offer valuable benefits. You can give to both, but the gifts must be made separately — one donation cannot be used for both credits.

Indiana Tax Credit Program

Your support opens doors for students who reside in Indiana.

You receive a 50% state tax credit on the gift you make. You can also deduct 50% of the gift on your federal taxes if you itemize.

  • Individuals and businesses qualify for this state tax credit.  There is no limit on the amount that you can give, but the state does limit the amount available for the credits.  See available tax credits.
  • You receive a 50% IN state tax credit that can be applied to your Indiana state tax liability. Click here for a brochure with details.

Federal Tax Credit Program

When you give, a student thrives.

Starting January 1, 2027, you can receive a 100% Federal tax credit of up to $1,700 annually.

  •  Make a lasting impact on a student’s education while reducing your federal tax liability dollar-for-dollar. Starting January 1, 2027, you can contribute to Scholarships for Education Choice and receive a 100% federal tax credit of up to $1,700 annually. Your donation directly funds scholarships for tuition at one of our partner schools.
  • Federal regulations are still forthcoming. Any clarifications will be updated on this page when the regulations are released.

 

Donations for the Federal Tax Credit Program will be accepted starting in 2027

Recurring donations may be edited by logging into https://donor.idonate.com/login and using the email used on the donation.  

You may designate your gift for students attending a particular school using the drop down menu on the giving form. If no school is preferred, please choose general fund.Separate donations must be made for each designated school. In-kind donations (such as a car or inventory) will be immediately sold by our partners at iDonate. Per the Indiana Department of Revenue, the state tax credit is based upon 50% of the cash value upon sale.

You will receive an email receipt immediately after making your gift. A second receipt letter will be emailed to you in 7-10 days which will include the tax certification number needed to claim the credit on your state tax return. If you would prefer to receive the receipt letter that has your tax credit certification number in the mail, please let us know.
