Pennsylvania - Educational Improvement Tax Credit • Tax-Credit Scholarship

Pennsylvania provides tax credits for corporate contributions to Scholarship Organizations (SOs) -nonprofits that provide private school scholarships, or Educational Improvement Organizations (EIO) -nonprofits that support innovative programs in public schools. Tax credits are worth 75 percent of the contribution; however, a 90 percent credit can be claimed if the corporation commits to two consecutive annual contributions. In either case, the maximum tax credit is $750,000 per company. Credits are awarded to companies on a first-come, first-served basis until the cap is reached. The total amount of tax credits is limited to $110 million.  In 2014 due to a law change companies began passing  thru EITC tax credits to individual donors in business entities called Special Purpose Entities (SPE's).
