Claim your 90% Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) when you support scholarships at Wyndcroft - Now easier than ever!
The Wyndcroft EITC program is the simplest way to get a 90% Pennsylvania tax credit when you support low- and moderate-income Wyndcroft scholarships. We have well-qualified applicants who can do Wyndcroft-level work and thrive in the culture of our School. With your support through the EITC we can provide the scholarships they need to attend Wyndcroft.
The EITC reduces state taxes for individuals as well as businesses. If you pay at least $3500 in the Pennsylvania taxes listed here, you can take the credit against your taxes. Businesses no longer have to apply to become “approved businesses” and wait for State approval to earn EITC tax credits. A minimum gift of $3500 is required to get the 90% tax credit. The net cost to you for a $3500 gift is just $350! And that $350 may be deductible on your federal income tax return. There are no administrative fees – 100% of your gift goes to support Wyndcroft scholarships.
