Through Pennsylvania’s EITC program, we have contributed funding to area scholarship organizations (SO), educational improvement organizations (EIO), and/or pre-kindergarten scholarship organizations (PKSO).
This funding is based on yearly PA state approval and contribution limits. Funding is only available for approved EITC recipient organizations.
More information on the EITC program is available here.
