Your Tax Dollars.
Their Bright Futures.

What if you could help children access the education that works best for them—and receive a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit for your qualifying contribution?

Through the new Education Freedom Tax Credit and our partnership with ACE Scholarships, you can help open doors for HRI Montessori students.

Register and schedule now. Contributions are not processed until January 2027.

One contribution. Two powerful benefits.

Dollar-for-dollar credit, subject to tax liability and eligibility
Nationwide

Why it matters

Every child deserves an education that helps them thrive.

At HRI Montessori, children learn through curiosity, exploration, independence, and meaningful connections. Your support helps make an individualized Montessori education more accessible to families who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

When children find an environment that recognizes their strengths, possibilities grow.

If just 100 people each make a qualifying $1,700 contribution, they could generate
$170,000
in potential support for educational opportunity.

It's easy to get started.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Do I have to live in Virginia?

No. Eligible individuals from any U.S. state can contribute through ACE Scholarships to support educational opportunity. Qualified scholarships depend on applicable program rules and state participation.

Can my business participate?

The federal credit is for qualifying contributions by individual taxpayers, not contributions made by businesses.

Will I be charged now?

No. You may register and arrange your contribution now; transactions begin in January 2027.

What does “dollar-for-dollar tax credit” mean?

For example, an eligible $1,700 contribution may reduce your federal income tax liability by $1,700, provided you have sufficient liability and meet the rules. This is a nonrefundable credit, not an automatic refund.

Who administers the scholarships?

ACE Scholarships is HRI Montessori's partner Scholarship Granting Organization. ACE administers the scholarship process and verifies eligibility.
