Corporations Support BVA and Receive Direct Tax Credits through EITC Program

We are excited that BVA was once again designated by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s EITC program as an Innovative Educational Program. This allows corporations to direct corporate tax dollars to directly support BVA’s environmental education programs.  If your company would like to make a donation to BVA or learn more, please contact Cindy Jaros at 610-793-1090 ext. 104 or [email protected].

General Information on Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit  

What is EITC?

The Pennsylvania EITC program allows businesses to divert their state taxes to BVA’s education programs. To do this, the business pledges to make a gift through the EITC program, receives approval to do so and then selects BVA as an approved organization to fulfill the gift. The state Department of Community and Economic Development then gives the business a tax credit up to 90 %.  

Is Your Company Eligible?
A company is eligible if the company pays one of these six taxes: Corporate Net Income Tax, Capital Stock Franchise, Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax, Title Insurance Companies Shares Tax, Insurance Premiums Tax or Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax. 

How does BVA fit in?

Pennsylvania has designated BVA as an Educational Improvement Organization.  That means we have been recognized as an innovative educational program that enhances regular public school curriculum. By contributing to BVA through the EITC program, you not only help yourselves, but you help deserving, financially disadvantaged students throughout our region.  IT’S A WIN-WIN!
