The Educational Improvement Tax Credits (EITC) program is
designed to allow businesses and individuals designate their PA state tax dollars to support Catholic schools. This is one of the few opportunities you have to direct your tax dollars to a specific destination. These donations are then used for tuition assistance. Wouldn’t you prefer to support the school rather than pay for a state program or a legislator’s lunch?
Simply put, EITC allows you to redirect your state tax dollars to our
school to help families with tuition assistance and to keep our school thriving. The program requires a minimum of only $1,000. You are eligible if you individually OR your business pay $1,000 or more a year in income taxes to the State of Pennsylvania. The school receives 100% of your contribution and you receive a 90% tax credit from the State of PA for your 2-year commitment.
Example: You, through your business or personal income, owe PA state tax liability of at least $1,000. You fill out a commitment form and then we notify you when to write your check. At tax time you receive an acknowledgment that you have participated in this program which you include with your PA state tax return. You get to do a great thing, help families who really value Catholic Education and want their kids to have that experience, and it essentially costs you nothing.
