FAQs

What is the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program?

The EITC Program enables companies to support nonprofit schools at minimal cost. Instead of sending tax dollars to Harrisburg, companies can reallocate them to support the JCC.

Who may make EITC gifts?

You might be surprised. Businesses ranging from neighborhood pharmacies, to mid-sized companies, to large corporations all are eligible. This includes the following type of businesses:

C-Corporations (taxed at the corporate level)
S-Corporations
Partnerships
Sole Proprietors
Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s)
Subchapter S corporations and other businesses that pay their State business taxes under the personal income tax on PA business income

How much of a business’ tax liability can be donated to Friedman JCC through EITC

Businesses can receive a tax credit equal to 75% of a contribution up to $750,000 per year. The credit increases to 90% if the business agrees to provide the same amount for two years.

Can the JCC help me apply?

Yes. We will work with you. We want to make the process as simple as possible. Contact Gary Bernstein at 570-824-4646 or gary.bernstein@nepajca.org
