Catholic Education Opportunity Fund
Sustaining Catholic education, school by school.
A national 501(c)(3) Scholarship Granting Organization.
We channel Federal Scholarship Tax Credit contributions to Catholic schools sponsored by religious orders — protecting each school’s charism while handling the compliance, donor tools, and scholarship administration.

Beginning January 1, 2027, the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit allows U.S. taxpayers to redirect a portion of their federal income tax to certified Scholarship Granting Organizations. Donors receive a dollar-for-dollar credit. Students at participating Catholic schools receive scholarships. Schools keep their mission.
CEOF was founded to ensure that Catholic schools sponsored by religious orders — and the families they serve — participate fully in this opportunity.
