Our mission
Every child deserves an education that fits them. Give for Kids Scholarship Fund helps families with limited means pay for it: tuition, tutoring, books, technology, and other education costs.
Why we exist
Starting January 1, 2027, a new federal tax credit lets any taxpayer give up to $1,700 to a Scholarship Granting Organization and take the full amount off their federal income tax. A married couple can give $3,400. For most donors, the gift costs nothing extra: money that would have gone to the Treasury goes to a child's education instead.
We formed Give for Kids so donors have a simple, trustworthy place to give, and so families have a simple place to apply.
How we work
- Donors give. Donors in every state can give and claim the federal credit.
- Gifts are kept apart. Tax-credit gifts are held in their own account, separate from operating funds, as federal law requires.
- Families apply. K-12 students qualify based on household income, up to 300% of their area's median income.
- Schools are paid directly. Scholarships go to schools and education providers, or reimburse receipted education costs. Never as unrestricted cash.
Who we are
Give for Kids Scholarship Fund is an Ohio nonprofit corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (EIN 39-4236057). We are governed by a board of directors and operate under written bylaws.
Our commitments
- We never sell or rent donor or family information.
- We report tax-credit gifts and scholarship spending to the IRS each year.
- Gifts cannot be directed to a specific student, and scholarships are awarded on need under written criteria.
- Our annual IRS filings are available on request.
