A national Catholic funding partner for your diocese or network
We help Catholic dioceses, networks, and schools participate in the federal scholarship opportunity through a national Catholic donor network and proven SGO infrastructure provided by ACE Scholarships, the leading scholarship provider in the US.
Scholarship management Infrastructure, compliance, and support through ACE Scholarships
Marketing strategy, assets, and guidance to enable activation of local audiences
Access to a national fundraising network of tax credit contributions from states that have not opted to allow their own schools to benefit from the tax credit
A new funding pathway
Beginning Jan 2027, the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC) will reward private donors with a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit, up to $1,700 annually, for contributions supporting K-12 scholarships.
For CEF Partners, that means a new path to nationwide education funding, without the compliance or infrastructure burden.
