For the first time, your federal tax dollars can fund Christian education!
Only 30 percent of America's 8th graders are proficient in reading. Only 28 percent in math.
Behind those numbers is something even more alarming: a public education system that has abandoned any semblance of a moral framework, actively pushing radical ideologies onto the children in its care.
This is not a "slow decline." It's already a crisis.
And it demands a response.
For years, Christians have stood with Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) as we've fought at Ohio's Statehouse—winning victories for school choice, defeating anti-religious liberty legislation, and building the Ohio Christian Education Network into a coalition of 200 Evangelical and Catholic schools.
CCV doesn’t waste time talking about the problem. We get to work.
Today, we're going further than we've ever gone before. We’re taking the fight nationally. The Christian Education Network (CEN) is launching the CEN Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)—a nationally qualified scholarship program built on the same proven model that transformed Christian education in Ohio.
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the first school choice legislation ever passed at the federal level, the Education Freedom Tax Credit, into law.
For the first time in American history, any taxpayer with a federal tax liability can redirect money they already owe the IRS into life-changing scholarships for children starting January 1, 2027. Dollar for dollar up to $1,700 per person. No strings. No bureaucracy.
We've proven this works in Ohio. Now were taking it to every state in America that will let us fight.
Every scholarship funded through the CEN SGO represents a child rescued from a failing system and placed into a school grounded in truth, excellence, and the Gospel. By understanding this mechanism now, you are joining a movement that gives families a choice they never thought they could afford.

As Ohio’s largest Christian public policy organization, Center for Christian Virtue seeks the good of our neighbors by advocating for public policy that reflects the truth of the Gospel.
