Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit

The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) is a program administrated by Pennsylvania’s Department of Community & Economic Development, which authorizes the award of tax credits to businesses that contribute to qualified educational organizations such as Devereux. The Pennsylvania Tax Credit equals 75% of the contribution for a one year commitment and 90% for a two year commitment, with a maximum of $300,000 of tax credits per fiscal year.

The simple one-page application can be submitted beginning July 1st of each year and credits are given out in the order received. Click here for more information.

Gifts of Stock

Donations of appreciated securities (stock or mutual funds that have increased in value from the date of purchase and that have been held for at least one year) produce a dual benefit to the donor. In addition to the joy of making a charitable gift, the donor can not only be eligible for a federal charitable deduction but also could avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation of the stock or mutual fund shares.
