The Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program provides an incredible opportunity for businesses and individuals to support Catholic education at schools like Immaculate Conception Academy. This program allows companies and individuals to receive tax credits in exchange for their charitable donations, which can fund tuition assistance programs.
How Does it Work?
The EITC program is designed to encourage businesses and individuals to donate money to organizations that provide educational opportunities for eligible students. By participating in this program, you’ll be helping make a difference in the lives of children who may not otherwise have access to quality education in a faith-based environment.
The funds are awarded to students attending Catholic elementary and secondary schools. Your donations are then used only for tuition assistance, allowing more families access to quality education in a faith-based environment.
The Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation (EPSF) of the Diocese of Allentown administers the personal EITC program, supporting schools within the Diocese of Allentown, such as Immaculate Conception Academy.
What are the Benefits?
The EITC program is a great success at ICA, with 28 children in 2022 already benefiting from EITC scholarships. This program helps families afford quality education and incentivizes businesses and individuals to give back to their communities by supporting Catholic education. You will be able to direct your gift to ICA. EITC lets you use your tax liability to sustain Catholic education in your community. You will be able to direct your donation to ICA.
