Educational Tax Credits
Many businesses redirect their PA Income Taxes to Erie Day School to be used as Scholarship Funds. These contributions are some of the most impactful donations to our school, as they are typically larger in dollar amounts and occur year after year. Participation in this program ensures that your tax dollars stay in our local community and are not budgeted elsewhere in the Commonwealth.
Individuals:
If you receive a paycheck, you may be eligible to donate your PA Personal Income Tax to Erie Day School and receive a 90% state personal income tax credit (two -year commitment). This program benefit is possible through a Special Purpose Entity (SPE), such as the Central PA Scholarship Fund.
Business Owners:
You may be eligible to donate your PA Business Tax to Erie Day School and receive a 90% state business tax credit (two-year commitment). This program is run by the Commonwealth of PA's Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED).
