Schools and the Inflation Reduction Act

We are coordinating the national campaign to leverage the Inflation Reduction Act to make progress toward healthier, more resilient school buildings for our most vulnerable students – and to make a massive dent in the greenhouse gas emissions that school buildings are responsible for annually.

To date, we’ve reached education leaders in 32 of 50 states and have identified over 150 schools projects that are in various stages of pursuing the IRA’s investment tax credits


The IRA could be among the largest federal investments in school facilities. How?

The IRA’s tax credits are uncapped and noncompetitive and available until 2032 and beyond. But state leadership and local decision-making are required to make the most of this generational opportunity.


States across the country are starting to understand and help catalyze this opportunity for schools.

We collaborated with the Maryland Commission on School Construction and Maryland Energy Administration to lead a session on IRA for Maryland school business officials. We also worked with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Forward Together Wisconsin to co-host a webinar for their state’s school facilities community.

Contact info@undauntedk12.org about ensuring your state’s school facilities community is aware of the new uncapped, noncompetitive tax credits and Elective Pay provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.
