Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Donor Information

Illinois’ “Invest in Kids Act” provides an incentive for individual and corporate donors to support nonpublic school scholarships for qualifying families. Provisions of the law include:

• Donors receive a credit (not deduction) on their Illinois Income Tax Return equal to 75% of money contributed to the scholarships.
• Individual donors may direct their donations to a particular school (Holy Family Catholic Academy). Corporations cannot designate their donations.
• The funds for this program cannot exceed $100 million in donations ($75 million in Illinois income tax credits) and is scheduled to be effective for 5 years--the final awards will be issued for the with.
