A reminder that starting July 1, 2014 Pennsylvania will begin accepting applications for the 2014/15 Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). This program allows eligible businesses to divert state taxes to scholarships for St. Bernadette School. Participants will be prominently featured in our bulletin and on the school website and Facebook page (what a great way to advertise your business).
3 easy ways our Parishioners and Families can help us reach our goal:
Find out if your business participates in an EITC/OSTC program. If so, ask them to designate a percentage of their contribution to St. Bernadette’s (contributions can be divided among schools).
Invite your company leaders to learn more about the program and start taking advantage of the programs.
The one-page application can be filled out in less than one hour.
Become a member of our Scholarship Committee: We need 3-4 people who are accountants, sales people, insurance or real estate help raise awareness of the program.
To discuss how your business can benefit from this “win/win” opportunity,
