The Churchill Faith Education Fund exists as a vehicle for Churchill County to benefit from the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit beginning January 1, 2027.
We want to help families afford tuition for their children at local private Christian evangelical schools!
What is the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit?
The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) allows individual taxpayers to claim a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit—up to $1,700—for cash contributions made to certified Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). This credit is designed to fund K-12 education expenses, such as private school tuition, tutoring, and books.
Here is how the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit operates:
State Participation: The program is voluntary. States must choose to opt-in and provide the IRS with a list of certified, qualified SGOs. Nevada opted in on January 23, 2026.
Eligibility: While taxpayers can claim the credit regardless of income, the scholarships distributed by SGOs are intended for eligible students whose family income is at or below 300% of the area's median gross income.
Funding & Unused Credits: There is no national aggregate limit on the amount of total contributions. If your donation exceeds your current federal tax liability, unused credits can be carried forward for up to five years.
Double Dipping: You cannot use the same charitable contribution to claim both a state-level education scholarship tax credit and the new federal tax credit.
