NJ Teachers Public School Tutoring Fund turns a new federal tax credit into free, high-impact tutoring for public school students, taught by New Jersey teachers in your own community.
Every New Jersey public school student who needs extra help should get it, from a teacher who knows their community.
NJ Teachers Public School Tutoring Fund is a partnership of the New Jersey Policy Institute (NJPI) and ACE Scholarships. We fund free, high-impact tutoring for public school students, delivered by New Jersey teachers who are paid for the work. Every awarded scholarship goes to tutoring for New Jersey public school students.
The New Jersey Policy Institute is a nonpartisan, nonprofit policy organization that brings together policymakers, business leaders, educators and community groups to develop practical solutions for New Jersey families. Expanding educational opportunity for every New Jersey student is at the heart of its work.
ACE Scholarships has been putting donor dollars to work for students for more than 25 years. Since its founding in 2000, ACE has awarded more than 121,000 scholarships totaling nearly $400 million. ACE manages every gift, receipt and scholarship award for the fund, so donors know their money is handled with care and full accountability.
We envision a day when every donor can give through a portal for their own community: their hometown, their school district, the school down the street. A neighbor’s tax credit becomes tutoring for the kids next door, taught by the teachers who already know them.
Each community portal would show residents the difference their giving makes. Town by town, New Jersey neighbors would come together so that every public school student who needs extra help gets it.
A new federal tax credit could send more than $5 billion a year to New Jersey students, at no extra cost to the taxpayers who direct it.
