We are excited to share a unique opportunity for Montana taxpayers to directly benefit their local public schools while receiving a 100% tax credit in return. Through the Innovative Educational Program Tax Credit, you can make a meaningful donation to support the growth and success of our students — and that donation will count as a dollar-for-dollar credit on your state taxes!
How Does It Work?
If you're a Montana taxpayer, you can donate to our school district to help fund innovative educational programs, and the donation will directly reduce your state tax bill. Donations made in January 2025 will be credited on your state taxes when you file in 2026.
What Will the Donations Fund?
Your generous contribution will support a variety of initiatives that enhance our educational environment, including:
Transformational Learning: Supporting flexible, student-centered learning models designed to fully develop each student's potential, as mandated by the Montana Constitution.
Inclusive Education: Funding programs, services, and adaptive equipment that provide expanded opportunities for students with disabilities.
Technology Enhancements: Upgrading our schools with cutting-edge technology to foster a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Capital Improvements: Funding for necessary building improvements and equipment to support these innovative programs.
Donation Details
Tax Credit: Donations will result in a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your 2026 state tax return.
Donation Limits: Individuals can donate up to $200,000 per year, or $400,000 for married couples filing jointly.
Deadline: All donations must be received by January 14, 2025.
