EITC Program - For corporations or businesses authorized to do business in Pennsylvania, and some individuals may contribute under the Pennsylvania Educational Tax Credit Program (EITC). Contributions of any amount up to a maximum of $300,000 per taxable year can earn tax credits equal to 75% to 90% of the amount donated. The EITC tax credits can be used against corporate net income tax, capital stock franchise tax (and other specific corporate taxes) or personal income tax of sub-S corporation shareholders or Partnership partners. Contributions made in this manner support BLOCS Scholarships (Business Leaders Organized for Catholic Schools). These tax credits when designated to Saint Mary Catholic School turn in to BLOCS Scholarship money and will assist qualified families with financial aid for tuition assistance.
