An investment in the Alliance is an investment in our children’s future.

The school choice movement faces unprecedented threats throughout the country. To meet these challenges, we need the most robust financial arsenal the Alliance has ever utilized to protect educational options for low-income families and children with special needs.

There are tremendous benefits to making your contribution to the Alliance for School Choice:

• The Alliance’s Board of Directors covers all administrative and fundraising expenses, so that every dollar of your support is committed entirely to our program efforts to expand and enhance the school choice movement on the national and state level.
• Anonymous donors match every contribution to the Alliance at a rate of 50 cents on the dollar. As a result, the value of your contribution to the Alliance will be immediately increased by 50 percent.

In addition, our supporters become a special part of the Alliance for School Choice community, receiving regular updates on our work, attending special events, and building the national school choice network.

The Alliance for School Choice is the nation’s vanguard organization for promoting, implementing, and enhancing K-12 educational choice for disadvantaged families. We work tirelessly to create a vehicle for reform minded individuals and organizations to make a truly strategic investment in education reform.

Whether you make an annual contribution to the Alliance as cash, stock, pledge, matching gift, bequest or participation in the Combined Federal Campaign, your investment advances the school choice movement as a whole — and in turn benefits hundreds of thousands of children — as the Alliance allocates significant financial and technical resources to implement and enhance individual state-based school choice programs throughout the country.

Simply put, your gift helps low-income children throughout the country who participate
in school choice programs achieve a new level of excellence.
