Education Covenant Project

The Education Covenant Project (ECP) partners with Jewish day schools and their communities to help make Jewish education more affordable and strengthen its future. The organization supports schools in preparing to use a federal scholarship tax credit opportunity beginning in 2027. Under the program described by ECP, taxpayers can redirect up to $1,700 of federal taxes owed toward scholarship funding, helping lower tuition costs for families.

ECP helps schools and communities prepare to make the most of this opportunity through strategic planning, campaign infrastructure, messaging support, and pledge coordination. Its work is designed to encourage broad community participation and ensure that available scholarship funding is mobilized effectively. By providing guidance and practical support ahead of the program’s launch, ECP aims to help schools reduce tuition pressure on families and avoid leaving potential funds unrealized. The project presents Jewish education as a shared communal responsibility and invites schools to connect with its team to explore what the tax credit could mean for their communities.
