Invest in Philadelphia children while lowering your state and federal tax liability through the PA Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) and the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC). The Pennsylvania educational tax credit programs (EITC/OSTC) incentivize donors to transform their tax dollars into scholarships for kids who are eager to learn at safe, quality tuition-based schools. Businesses and individuals can receive 90% (dollar-for-dollar) PA tax credits for their donations, along with the opportunity for a small federal deduction.
Based in Philadelphia, Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia (CSFP) facilitates these educational tax credits as an approved scholarship organization. Seventy-seven percent of Philadelphia K-8th grade public schools are on Pennsylvania’s list of low-achieving schools, and parents are desperate for better options for their children.
