Convert your Tax Dollars into Scholarships

PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) & Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program (OSTC) 

Any PA business or individual that is subject to state taxes may be eligible to participate in these programs.

• Apply for a tax credit of your desired donation;  when an individual commits to participate for two consecutive years, they are eligible for a tax credit equal to 90% of their total contribution.

•  Eligible businesses include C-corporations, S-corporations, partnerships, LLC's and most other pass-through companies including qualified Subchapter S Trusts. 

Consult your tax professional for specific tax advice.

For Individuals & Business Owners: 

The Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Fund can provide tax credits to individuals and businesses through a Special Purpose  Entity. For more information on this process, please visit https://www.pennsylvaniaeitc.org/

For Corporations:

If you pay taxes in Pennsylvania you can take advantage of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit or Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit programs offered by the State to impact education. Any qualifying business can participate, so please share this information with any colleagues who may want to receive tax credits while supporting The Neighborhood Academy. Applying is easy, but there is a cap on funding, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications for businesses in the middle of a two-year commitment and returning donors will be accepted starting May 15th. New applications will be accepted beginning in July. Depending on your business structure, you may also participate through the Central PA Scholarship Fund.  Please consult your tax professional on how these programs may impact your business.
