Impact Aid Program

The Impact Aid Program is a federal initiative in the United States designed to provide financial assistance to school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of non-taxable federal properties, such as military bases or Indian reservations. This funding helps ensure that these districts can maintain quality education for all students, despite the loss of local tax dollars. Essentially, it helps level the playing field for schools that serve communities significantly affected by federal presence, ensuring they have the resources needed to support their students and educational programs.
