Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program What is the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit? It’s how you turn your tax dollars into need-based scholarship dollars for deserving students! EITC is a program for Pennsylvania businesses and individuals to apply for tax credits for their charitable contributions to qualified scholarship organizations, such as Eden Christian Academy.
Who Qualifies? Businesses and individuals who pay Pennsylvania state taxes.
How Do You Benefit? Through this program, individuals can receive a tax credit equal to 75% of your charitable donations to Eden Christian Academy. If businesses commit to the same amount for two consecutive tax years, they can receive a tax credit of 90% of the donated amount.
