Matching Gifts can double or triple the value of your gift. Check with your employer about matching gifts, as many companies match the philanthropic contributions of their employees. Obtain a form for a Matching Gift Request from your employer, fill out the portion to be completed by the donor, and mail the form to the School along with your gift.  We’ll take care of the rest!

The Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) allows an eligible business owner to take a credit against PA taxes for up to 90% of the amount donated to The Wissahickon Foundation.  In simplest terms, it costs a business $1,000 to give $10,000.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Businesses authorized to do business in PA who are subject to one or more of these taxes:

Personal Income Tax

Corporate Net Income Tax

Capital Stock/Foreign Franchise Tax

Bank Shares Tax

Title Insurance & Trust Companies Shares Tax

Insurance Premiums Tax

Mutual Thrift Tax

Malt Beverage Tax

Retaliatory Fees under section 212 of Insurance Company Law of 1921

1. Go to this LINK for more information about EITC: The link to the simple application and the business guidelines are in the bar at the top of the page!  

2. Submit your application to the state of PA beginning July 1 of each year.  You decide the donation amount on your application. Credits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

3. You will be notified by the state of PA of your acceptance.

4. Make your contribution to The Wissahickon Foundation within 60 days of acceptance and receive tax credits equal to 75% of contribution or 90% if a two year commitment.
