PA EITC: Turn Your PA Taxes into a SAILL Preschool Scholarship
Help a student find their voice.
Give to DePaul School for Hearing and Speech's SAILL Preschool and receive a PA tax credit.
What if you could redirect a portion of the Pennsylvania state taxes you already owe to help a child attend preschool?
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.
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.
