Corporations: Help Low-Income Children and Earn Tax CreditsChildren First Florida, along with our public relations organization Step Up For Students, is an initiative of the Florida Corporate Tax Credit (CTC) Scholarship Program - an educational plan designed to help low-income families in Florida obtain the best education for their children. Under this program, corporations that owe Florida corporate income tax can redirect a portion of their tax obligation to non-profit organizations that award K-12 scholarships to students qualifying for the federal government's free or reduced lunch program. If you are a corporation with a tax liability in the state of Florida, and would like more information on donating, please visit the Step Up For Students website.
Individuals and FoundationsIndividuals, organizations and foundations can also participate in the Children First Florida program by providing program and administrative support in the form of monetary donations and grants. A $25 donation can change the life of a child! Your gift is highly leveraged. The Walton Family Foundation has awarded Children First Florida a grant to assist in the administrative costs of distributing K-12 scholarships to low-income children throughout Florida. The matching grant, coupled with the fact that Children First Florida's overhead is less than two percent of funds distributed, equates to a highly leveraged charitable donation. It only costs $50 to administer each scholarship. $25 donation + $25 matching grant = $3,950 distributed to 1 low-income student Supporters of Children First Florida benefit from the unique confidence that their gift directly benefits thousands of at-risk students to help them achieve academic success. Children First Florida is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) code; all contributions are tax-deductible.
