Give the Gift of Education This Holiday Season
Scholarships for Kids. Tax Credits for You.
Empower Illinois has a big, bold mission rooted in the simple belief that every child should have access to high quality education options. What better way to celebrate the holiday season than giving a child in need access to their best-fit school?
WHO ARE YOU HELPING?
By making a tax credit scholarship gift to your favorite Illinois private school, you can provide direct scholarships for K-12 students from low-income and working-class families and receive a powerful 75% credit on your Illinois state taxes. 100% of recipients qualify based on need, and 95% of donations go directly to scholarships. Most importantly, for each scholarship awarded, FIVE more kids are on the waitlist. You can make the difference for the four kids still waiting to attend a school they love.
