Friend,

Millions of students are about to spend another year studying algebra,
literature, and history without ever touching the one system that will follow
every one of them for the rest of their lives: the tax code.

Where do students learn what a tax bracket actually is?
Who explains the difference between a sales tax and an income tax before they
ever see one on a receipt or a paycheck?

Most schools simply don't have the time, and most curricula don't have the
material.

That's the gap Tax Foundation has spent years working to close.

I’m Daniel Bunn, President of Tax Foundation. Since 1937, Tax Foundation has
been the nonpartisan, independent source lawmakers and journalists turn to when
they need the facts on tax policy.

We created TaxEDU, our free education initiative, to provide this same
foundation to students, teachers, or anyone willing to learn more about taxes.

Support Tax Foundation with a gift of $100, $50, or even $10 to help educate
the next generation about taxes.

TaxEDU puts a glossary of more than 100 tax terms, classroom-ready primers,
and explainer videos—such as “How Do Tax Brackets Work?”— in front of any
student who wants to understand the system.

None of it leans left or right, and none of it sits behind a paywall.

But keeping it free depends entirely on people like you.

That's why I'm asking you to make a gift to Tax Foundation today.

A student who understands the tax code has an advantage that most of their
peers won't have.

They'll understand…

* Why a sales tax holiday isn’t good policy
* That tax brackets don’t work the way most people think
* How the tax choices made in state capitals and in Washington affect their
own future paycheck, tuition bill, or small business
That kind of literacy shapes how someone votes, how they manage their
finances, and how well they can distinguish sound policy from a political
talking point.

Most students won't get any of that in a classroom.

Personal finance and economics requirements vary widely from state to state,
and even where they exist, the tax code rarely gets more than a passing
mention. Most of what students find is either buried in a textbook, locked
behind a paid course, or shaped by whoever is doing the explaining.

Outside of TaxEDU, there are few, if any, no-cost, nonpartisan resources
designed specifically to teach taxes.

When you give to Tax Foundation, you're funding a resource that fills that
specific gap: a real vocabulary for tax policy, a lesson plan built on
nonpartisan research, and a plain-language answer instead of talking points.

Your gift today helps make sure the next generation of taxpayers, business
owners, and lawmakers has access to that resource.

Please make a gift to support Tax Foundation today.
