State and National Activities


The Alliance for School Choice works to build support for, and implement, publicly funded school choice programs that provide low-income families with educational opportunities. In doing so, the Alliance not only protects those programs that are already serving families in need, but also expands and enhances them and—most importantly—initiates new, larger, and even more effective models.


The Alliance's key activities can be categorized into two areas:


State-based Activities


The Alliance for School Choice regularly assesses the best opportunities for creating and expanding publicly funded school choice programs such as vouchers and tax credits across the country. Based on those assessments, the Alliance targets states for intensive support. This support includes the direct allocation of financial resources, assistance with public information campaigns, and activist training programs. At later stages, our companion organization, Advocates for School Choice, often initiates lobbying activities to help pass legislation. .


National Activities


The Alliance for School Choice maintains an ambitious national agenda, leading the school choice movement through the strategic cultivation of resources and leaders. These activities include:



  • Facilitating an innovative development operation to cultivate funding for effective school choice models;

  • Hosting leadership development conferences to cultivate state and national leadership on issues such as program design and implementation;

  • Hosting a series of task force summits to identify solutions to issues critical to the success of the movement. Topics for these task forces include coalition building, bill design, and accountability; and

  • Hosting regular gatherings of allies, activists, scholars and philanthropists in the movement to discuss strategy and to galvanize the movement.
