Your support makes a lasting Impact—with Immediate Financial Benefits
Strelitz International Academy is proud to participate in the Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit (EISTC) program through the Tidewater Jewish Foundation (TJF). This initiative allows donors like you to support our students and receive a 65% Virginia income state tax credit. That’s not just a donation — it’s a smart financial move.

- You receive a 65% Virginia tax credit, plus state and federal charitable deductions
- Your net cost is dramatically reduced—a $10,000 gift can cost as little as $2,459

Act Fast—Credits is Limited.
We have a limited number of credits for each calendar year based on eligible student scholarships. Additionally, all gifts must be pre authorized by the Virginia Department of Education before they are accepted—so it’s essential to begin the process now.
How to Give

- Get Pre Authorized: TJF will submit your request to the Virginia DOE.
- Make Your Gift: Once approved, complete your donation and enjoy the benefits.
Let’s Build a Brighter Future—Together
