Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program

PACS is an approved Educational Improved Organization through EITC. Make your business's charitable gifts go further through this tax credit program.

Why businesses participate:

  • Receive up to a 90% Pennsylvania tax credit through a qualifying two-year commitment.
  • Redirect state tax dollars to educational innovation rather than sending them entirely to Harrisburg.
  • Demonstrate a meaningful commitment to the communities where you do business.
  • Help students build the connections, skills, and foundation they need to succeed in school and beyond.
