Turn Your Pennsylvania Taxes into a SAILL Preschool Scholarship
Help a student find their voice.
What if you could redirect a portion of the Pennsylvania state taxes you already owe to help a child attend a preschool that could change their educational future?
Through Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, eligible donors can support need-based scholarships for Pennsylvania students while receiving a significant Pennsylvania tax credit.
What could this look like?
A $10,000 annual contribution could provide significant scholarship support for a SAILL student while potentially qualifying the donor for 90%-100% Pennsylvania tax credit for the two-year commitment.
What is SAILL?
SAILL - Speech and Integrated Language for Literacy is a full-day preschool program for children with speech and language delays and communication challenges.
Why SAILL?
SAILL's early childhood educators & licensed speech-language pathologists work together to build communication, language, and early literacy skills - setting a child up for long-term educational success.
We partner with BLOCS to make the process simple for you.
Your contribution provides need-based scholarship assistance to help a child access SAILL Preschool and its language-rich early learning environment.
How It Works
- Make Your Commitment: Commit to making the same annual contribution for two years through BLOCS.

- Claim Your Pennsylvania Tax Credit: Eligible donors can receive a 90%-100% PA tax credit for a two-year commitment. BLOCS handles the tax-credit process and provides the necessary documentation.
