Education is one of the most powerful investments we can make in the future. 

At RTA - Richmond Hebrew Day School, that investment extends beyond academics. RTA inspires students to think deeply, act kindly, and live with purpose. Through Virginia’s Tax Credit Program, donors can play a direct role in shaping this future by helping families afford a transformative education while enjoying valuable tax advantages.

Through the Virginia Tax Credit Program, individuals and businesses can redirect a portion of their state tax liability to help fund scholarships for students who qualify for financial aid. These scholarships open the doors of RTA to families who want their children to benefit from an exceptional Jewish and general studies education but might otherwise find tuition out of reach.

The effect of these scholarships is profound. They make it possible for students to thrive in an environment that brings together academic excellence, character development, and a deep sense of Jewish peoplehood. At RTA, children learn to take pride in their identity as part of the Jewish people while being known, supported, and encouraged to reach their potential in the classroom and beyond.

For parents, these scholarships bring peace of mind. They ensure that financial circumstances don’t determine access to the kind of education that fosters curiosity, integrity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Supporting Virginia tax credits isn’t just about giving.  It’s about investing. Donors receive up to a 65% state tax credit for their contribution of $500 or more, in addition to potential federal and state charitable deductions. More importantly, their support directly impacts local families, strengthens the Jewish community, and sustains an institution that has been shaping lives for generations.

Every contribution helps build a stronger, more connected Jewish community where children engage with challenging academics, develop strong analytical skills, and grow in their sense of belonging to the Jewish people. This support ensures that students are not only held to high academic standards but also grounded in a confident, proud Jewish identity that prepares them to meet the world with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

When you participate in the Virginia Tax Credit Program, you’re doing more than fulfilling a tax obligation.  You’re empowering students, supporting families, and investing in the future of Jewish education in Richmond.  Join us in making a difference!
