Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program

Transform Tax Dollars Into Life-Changing Scholarships!

The Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program provides businesses and eligible individuals with a unique opportunity to support Catholic education while receiving significant Pennsylvania state tax credits.
Through EITC, participants can redirect a portion of their Pennsylvania tax liability to fund scholarships for students seeking a Catholic education. Instead of those dollars going solely to the state, they can help make a faith-filled, academically excellent education accessible to more families.
Every EITC contribution helps ensure that financial circumstances do not prevent deserving students from receiving the benefits of a Catholic school education.

Why Participate?

Donor Benefits

The EITC program offers a powerful combination of philanthropy and tax savings.

Eligible participants may receive:

A 75% Pennsylvania state tax credit for a one-year commitment.
A 90% Pennsylvania state tax credit for a two-year commitment at the same contribution level.
The ability to redirect tax dollars toward scholarships rather than paying the full amount in state taxes.
An opportunity to make a meaningful difference for students and families while maximizing the impact of charitable giving.

Businesses may participate directly through the EITC program, while many individuals participate through approved Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), allowing them to support scholarship programs and benefit from available tax credits.
