EITC – Tax Credit Program for Pennsylvania businesses

Through the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC), a business can redirect its tax liability by donating to an eligible Educational Improvement Organization (EIO), like the South Williamsport Education Foundation.

Tax credits are applied against a businesses’ state tax liability for the year in which the donation is made. Businesses that commit for two years get a 90% credit. The credit is 75% of the donation amount for a one-year commitment by the business. EITC for businesses is available on a first come, first served basis starting July 1 and fills up quickly. For more details, please visit the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s EITC website.
