We are the nation’s leading advocate for education funding that follows students.

For decades, the American Federation for Children (AFC) has worked alongside families, policymakers, and nonprofit partners to expand educational options that put parents in control. We've invested over $11 million since 2021 to connect families to educational opportunity. In 2025 alone, AFC helped enroll 157,000 students in 12 states.

Because of that expertise and experience, we know that this federal scholarship tax credit will shape education for a generation—if we start preparing now.

That’s why we’re sharing free, practical guidance to help you understand the Education Freedom Tax Credit before it begins in 2027.
