find their next step.
A school plan that fits. A first college course without changing schools. A weekly place to connect. These are the different ways Landmark is already meeting students where they are.
Two separate giving routes. Today’s general donation link is not the federal tax-credit route.
From the October 8, 2026 Board Review
What is happening at Landmark
School, individual courses, and weekly homeroom give families more than one way to find the support their student needs.
Students taking individual dual-credit courses
Twenty-four students were enrolled through Landmark’s vendor offering. Families can pursue a college course without enrolling full-time at Landmark.
In-person student connection
What the Future homeroom began in September with a local nonprofit partner. Students meet in libraries or donated space for an in-person support model.

Available Now · General Charitable Giving
Support the nonprofit behind the school.
Give to Landmark Living History Institute, the Missouri 501(c)(3) public charity that operates Landmark Academy. Your general gift supports its educational mission and access programming.
EIN: 41-4512644. This is ordinary charitable giving, not a contribution through a federally qualified scholarship-granting organization. Any charitable deduction depends on your tax situation; it is not a promised dollar-for-dollar credit.

A Separate Route · Beginning January 1, 2027
Plan your federal tax-credit giving.
The Education Freedom Tax Credit, under Internal Revenue Code Section 25F, is a donor credit for qualifying cash contributions to eligible scholarship-granting organizations.
Based on the donor’s own qualifying contributions and applicable tax rules.
Each spouse may claim up to $1,700 based on that spouse’s own qualifying contributions. The combined joint-return limit is not a $3,400 credit for one spouse’s gift alone.
Planned scholarship partner: ACE
Landmark plans to partner with ACE. The 2027 donor link and instructions for selecting Landmark are not ready yet. We will publish the confirmed route here when it is available.
There is no federal tax-credit donation checkout on this page today. Do not use Landmark’s general Stripe donation link expecting this credit, or assume that an older ACE donation page qualifies for the new federal program.
An inquiry is not a donation, reservation, tax-credit approval, or enrollment in an automatic notification list.
When the qualified giving route is available
- Verify the organization. Check the IRS’s qualifying SGO list for the relevant state and tax year. Donors may support an eligible organization in a participating state even if their own state does not participate.
- Use the confirmed 2027 route. Make a qualifying cash contribution on or after January 1, 2027, and tell the organization it is intended for this credit. Follow the organization’s confirmed instructions for supporting Landmark; do not earmark a gift for a particular student.
- Keep the organization’s acknowledgement. Retain the written acknowledgement and unique donor number. A general Landmark receipt is not a substitute for the qualifying SGO acknowledgement.
- Claim the credit correctly. A qualifying 2027 contribution is claimed on the 2027 federal return, generally filed in 2028. Consult your tax adviser about your contribution, filing status, and other credits.
Is the credit a refund or a promise that giving costs me nothing?
No. It is nonrefundable: it can reduce federal income tax to zero, but excess credit is not paid as a refund. Unused credit may carry forward for up to five years, subject to the rules. Your tax liability and qualifying contributions determine the benefit.
Can the same gift receive both this credit and a charitable deduction?
You cannot also claim a federal charitable deduction for the portion used for this credit. State tax credits claimed for the same contributions reduce the amount eligible for the federal credit before the per-person cap applies. Get advice for your particular situation; do not assume both full benefits apply.
Do families receive a $3,400 scholarship?
Not automatically. The joint-filer figure is a donor tax-credit limit. Scholarship amounts depend on the student’s qualified expenses, available funds, and the scholarship organization’s decisions. Read the separate family eligibility information →
Reviewed October 9, 2026. Treasury and IRS issued proposed rules October 1 that may be relied on for qualifying contributions beginning January 1, 2027, if all applicable provisions are followed consistently and in full. This page is general information, not personal tax advice.
