Join the Family Institute of Connecticut Action, the Association of Christian Schools International and the Connecticut Catholic Public Affairs Conference on September 23, 2026, 10:30AM for a tutorial on this historic and transformative education opportunity.

Federal legislation signed into law in July 2025 includes a historic expansion of K-12 educational opportunity that will benefit millions of students in all education settings for years to come. The statutory mechanism to affect this opportunity allows all individual income taxpayers, beginning in 2027, to take a 100 percent tax credit for donations to a non-profit Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO).

To register, visit https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/WrRxHorWStixdl9ISeNrpg. We plan to record this meeting and make it available to our members, so please register even if you cannot attend on September 23 at 10:30AM.

In the meantime, please sign our petition to ask Governor Ned Lamont to support the new federal scholarship tax-credit program. Connecticut students will only be able to benefit if Governor Lamont “opts into” this program (tax credits are still available to CT residents without regard to the governor’s action). Here is the petition: https://www.ctfamily.org/take-action/action-center/
