Pennsylvania Tax Giving Program

Qualifying tax liabilities may include Pennsylvania personal income tax and certain business taxes. The specific taxes that qualify depend on the donor and the program through which the contribution is made.

Minimum contribution requirements vary by participating scholarship organization or special-purpose entity. Contact our Advancement team for current contribution levels and available opportunities.

Participation options may include a one- or two-year commitment. A two-year commitment may qualify for a Pennsylvania state tax credit of up to 90% of the contribution.

Your contribution is submitted through an approved participating organization. Mount Saint Joseph Academy is then designated to receive the scholarship funds for eligible students.

The participating organization will provide the applicable tax documents for use when filing your return. Timing and document requirements may vary depending on the organization and your individual tax situation.

Both programs allow eligible donors to support student scholarships through Pennsylvania tax credits. EITC generally supports educational improvement and scholarship organizations, while OSTC supports scholarships for eligible students who reside within the boundaries of designated low-achieving schools.

Our Advancement team can explain the process, connect you with an approved participating organization and help answer questions about directing your contribution to Mount Saint Joseph Academy.
