You can change a child's life. Through providing a scholarship with taxes you have to pay anyway.

What is the Educational Improvement Tax Credit?

The PA Tax Law allows businesses and individuals to direct their state tax dollars to private schools of their choice.

Instead of sending your taxes to the state of Pennsylvania, where legislators decide how to spend your taxes,  YOU can designate your state taxes to a private school of your choice, to be used as scholarships for children in need.

This can allow at-risk children, who would otherwise go to underperforming schools, to receive life-changing scholarships to a private school and obtain a quality education.

You can ensure that your tax dollars are used efficiently and effectively, giving the gift of a high quality education to a child in need, while supporting a school whose values reflect your own. 

How Does EITC Work?

The EITC program has allowed thousands of Pennsylvania businesses to redirect their state tax dollars to be used as student scholarships at private schools. This program is now available to individuals!

A 90%, dollar for dollar state tax credit is given to businesses and individuals who  support a private school. A  federal tax benefit may also be obtained. Businesses and individuals can make a  significant financial impact  to a private school using the state tax dollars they owe anyway! LESS OUT OF POCKET COSTS TO SUPPORT PRIVATE SCHOOLS! 

YOU DECIDE HOW YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE SPENT! 

An example of how it works:

• You or your business redirects  your  PA state tax of $1000 to a private school of your choice.
• Your PA Tax liability is credited $900 (90%). It's a dollar for dollar credit.
• The 10$ out of pocket cost is considered a charitable deduction on your Federal Tax Return if you itemize. 
• In essence, you gave a child a $1000 scholarship, using your tax dollars, and it costs you $100 or less.
