VDOE TCP is a Win-Win, Triple Your Impact!
Are you ready to make a bigger difference without breaking the bank? The Virginia Education Improvement Scholarships Tax Credit Program offers you the chance to triple your impact and support students in a meaningful way.
Watch this short video and be inspired to give!
Imagine this: Your contribution of $28,500 results in an $18,500 Virginia state tax credit, leaving you with just $10,000 out of pocket. How cool is that? Or scale it down a bit—your $2,850 donation results in a $1,850 credit, costing you only $1,000! It’s a win-win for you and the students.
How does it work?
If you’re paying Virginia state taxes, why not let your money do more? The program allows your gifts to triple in value, helping fund scholarships for students in accredited private schools. This year, EMS is thrilled to have 49 students eligible for financial aid awards, each up to $8,178, thanks to this program.
