Private Charity and Public Choice: How States’ Tax Credit Programs Give Voluntary Education Funding a Boost

Please join us for Cascade’s monthly Policy Picnic led by Children’s Scholarship Fund-Portland’s Director, Kathryn Hickok, on Wednesday, March 6, at noon.

Kathryn will be leading a discussion about states with tax credits (or voucher programs) and how those law-enabled options boost the private dollars being spent charitably on educational choice and help parents take advantage of other options. Choice bills make both scholarship donors’ and parents’ money go farther.  They incentivize investing in education while respecting market choice and the voluntary nature of giving and of parents’ choosing schools.

Admission is free. Please bring your own lunch. Coffee and cookies will be served. Space is limited to ten guests on a first come, first served basis, so sign up early. To RSVP, email Patrick Schmitt at patrick@cascadepolicy.org or call 503-242-0900.
