Last Tuesday, Ampact CEO Lindsay Dolce was a panelist at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Education Freedom Tax Credit Roundtable. With a wide range of education leaders in attendance, including Kirsten Baesler, Assistant Secretary of the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the discussion focused on the new tax credit for contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations that support elementary and secondary education expenses.

We envision that this tax incentive will expand opportunities to bring high-impact tutoring support to more students in public schools where it is needed most. Thank you to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for inviting us to be part of such an important conversation!

We’re proud to announce that Lindsay Dolce has been named Chief Executive Officer of Ampact! Over the past 10 years as Ampact’s Chief Policy and Growth Officer, she has played a pivotal role in growing our impact, doubling investments, and expanding evidence-based programs to 12 states!

Under Lindsay’s leadership, Ampact will continue to create a lasting impact in the community and bring evidence-based solutions to more communities across the nation.

“I am inspired by the extraordinary impact of these programs and the students and communities we serve every day,” says Lindsay.
