Every child deserves an education that enables and inspires them to succeed.

The Pennsylvania tax credit scholarship program known as the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) represents a win/win situation for families in need as well as qualifying businesses and individuals like yourself. For pennies on the dollar, you can make a donation to a scholarship organization like the Foundation for Catholic Education. Designate St. Jude School as the recipient of your generosity, receive up to a 90% credit on your state taxes, and claim a deduction on your federal taxes. 

There are many families in our community who want to provide their children with the lifelong benefits a Catholic education can offer. You can help them overcome their financial challenges and enable them to say “yes” to Catholic education while receiving substantial tax benefits by participating in the EITC program.

Here's how it works:

PA BUSINESS: Qualifying PA businesses can contribute up to $750,000 to the program. C-Corps, S-Corps, LLCs and Limited Partnerships are eligible to participate. By designating St. Jude School, your donation will help our school families.

PA RESIDENTS: If you pay at least $1,000 in PA state taxes each year, you are eligible to join a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) through the Foundation for Catholic Education and take full advantage of the EITC program. By designating St. Jude School, your donation will help our families afford the Catholic education they desire for their children.
