Educational Improvement Tax Credit

Program Overview
​Through the establishment of Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, donors can receive up to a 90% tax credit against their personal PA state tax liability by making their gift through BLOCS.
An individual or company who wishes to take advantage of this tax-credit program may become a member of a BLOCS Scholarship LLC (“LLC”) with a 2-year commitment to fund the LLC. These credits will be distributed to each member via K-1 and are then applied to your PA tax liability for the tax year in which the donation is made.

​Becoming a Donor is Simple

1. Make a 2-year commitment to a scholarship donation through BLOCS by redirecting your Pennsylvania state tax liability.
2. You then sign your LLC agreement and write your check to BLOCS. We then disperse the funds to the school of your choice or that of greatest need if your gift is undesignated.
3. BLOCS provides you with a K-1 for your donation, and your 90% tax credit is issued to you by the state.
4. Your tax credit can either be used to fund your year 2 commitment to BLOCS, or it can nearly double your annual donation to your designated school.
