EFTC status in Alaska

Governor Mike Dunleavy announced Alaska's participation on January 26, 2026, with IRS notification submitted the same week.

"Opting into the ECCA creates another opportunity for families and students to reap the benefits of school choice -- something more and more Alaskans are choosing -- all while having no negative impact on the State budget -- and allowing an equivalent tax deduction to those who choose to support education through their donations."
