Donate to the Workforce Child Care Tax Credit Program
Businesses with a Louisiana Tax ID are eligible to receive a 100% refundable state tax credit up to $5,000 for contributions to Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (CCR&Rs), including Agenda for Children, a CCR&R for 11 parishes in Southeast Louisiana.
The Workforce Child Care Tax Credit (formerly School Readiness Tax Credit -SRTC) supports Agenda’s CCR&R work and enables us to expand services for early learning educators and programs. To make a direct impact, Agenda also distributes half of all SRTC funds raised through our innovative Early Childhood Opportunity (ECHO) Fund grant program, which supports the needs of early learning centers in our region. In 2024, thanks to SRTC funding, Agenda awarded more than $380,000 to 191 programs across our service area to help retain early childhood educators.
Quality early childhood education fuels our future. It keeps parents in the workforce, attracts companies to our state, and develops the talent and skills businesses need to succeed.
How the Workforce Child Care Tax Credit Works
This tax credit is part of a package of tax credits, originally named School Readiness Tax Credits (SRTCs), that was passed in 2007 to support quality child care and education. (La. Rev. Stat. § 47:6107)
You can take the credit against individual income tax or corporation income tax on your Louisiana State taxes.
A WCCTC donation to Agenda for Children keeps your state tax dollars in Southeast Louisiana. You can further designate a portion of your gift for ECHO Fund grant support in a specific parish (Assumption, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John, St. Tammany, Terrebonne and Washington).
The process couldn’t be easier. Submit a contribution form and Agenda for Children will email you a receipt and verification letter.
Your Investment Will Pay Dividends for Generations
Every $1 invested in early childhood education yields a return to society of more than $16.
Invest your tax liability in the Workforce Child Care Tax Credit and Louisiana will reap dividends for generations to come.
