WHAT IS IT?

A federal tax credit for school scholarships

From 2027, any individual taxpayer, from local parents to alumni across the country, can give to programs that serve your students and get every dollar back on their federal taxes, up to $1,700 ($3,400 for married couples filing jointly).

$1,700
a year,
per taxpayer
HOW DOES IT WORK?

The gift costs the giver nothing

1

A parent, grandparent or local employee gives up to $1,700 to FutureBuilders.

2

They take the same amount off their federal tax bill.

3

Donations become scholarships for your students.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

FutureBuilders unlocks the funds

The tax credit only applies to gifts made to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), so districts can't receive them directly.

FutureBuilders is Missouri's SGO for public schools.*

* Missouri has made an advance election to participate in the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit for 2027; FutureBuilders will apply for inclusion on the approved SGO list when the state opens its process.

Public school students are eligible

Open to any student eligible to enroll in a public school, subject to household income limits.

Scholarships can cover:
Tutoring
Extended day learning

WHY DOES IT MATTER?
