This will only take a moment of your time…please help support these efforts!

Catholic school families across New England have been waiting for decades for relief to help send their children to the schools that fit their religious and academic goals.  Now is our chance to make it happen – Please let your voice be heard!   

Congress has the chance to include the Educational Choice for Children Act’s tax credit for donations to scholarship organizations in the next federal budget.  The tax credit does not affect federal or state public education funding, and is based solely on tax-credits from private donations.

We firmly believe that endorsing ECCA may be our greatest opportunity to see a full access school choice program in Connecticut.  While CT legislators may be resistant, this Bill has more support in Congress than any previous school choice legislation.  If we join our voices with all our constituent voices, we hopefully will see it come to pass.

TWO Steps to Show Your Support in less than ONE minute of your time:

1) Sign the New England for ECCA Petition

2) Contact your federal legislators

You may also visit ne4ecca.org for more information.  The committee working on this legislation has also set up a page so you can follow/share their efforts on Facebook.
