EITC Tax Credit Giving Program

The State of Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) awards tax credits to eligible entities contributing to qualified organizations. It enables taxpayers to direct their state taxes to fund scholarships at BG. All donations go directly toward scholarships to qualifying families. 

This helps families afford BG tuition. It also helps the school by funding need-based awards we make under BG’s generous financial aid policy. Recently, participation has been expanded, so please contact us whether you are an individual or a business entity and we will provide more information and guide you through a simple process. This allows you to direct your state tax dollars to BG instead of Harrisburg.

Depending on your situation, you may receive Federal tax benefits too. BG’s “SchoolCredits” EITC program enables families and other supporters to direct their tax dollars to help keep our tuition affordable for all.

Businesses can apply for credits in two ways:

1) directly from Pennsylvania or

2) through a Special Purpose Entity.

The business application guide explains the process of applying directly. However, it has been simpler for many taxpayers to get credits through a Special Purpose Entity that manages the application and other requirements.
