Access to high-quality education provides among the single greatest ROI of donor dollars.
Every $1 invested in early childcare education saves up to $17 long-term and generates $1.79 in economic activity immediately. That’s why we provide flexible Pre-K scholarships to children of families in need through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and United Way funding.
