Together, we can empower children, support families, and invest in a brighter future.

What does early intervention mean?

Early intervention is essential for preventing delays in listening, spoken language, and reading development. This progress is made possible through the combined efforts of a supportive family and a dedicated professional care team, like DePaul’s SAILL Preschool.

How does my donation impact early intervention?

Imagine turning your tax dollars into a truly meaningful donation that supports early intervention for children in need. Through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC), businesses can make a significant impact by contributing to SAILL Preschool at DePaul.

SAILL, which stands for Speech And Integrated Language for Literacy, is a preschool program with a separate private academic license. Your donation impacts the SAILL program by helping children receive intensive speech and language services.

How does it work?

Businesses like C-corporations, S-corporations, partnerships, LLCs, most pass-through entities, and qualified Subchapter S Trusts can apply for a tax credit of up to 100% on the first $10,000 donated and 90% of their remaining donation when committing to a two-year period. It’s an opportunity to support a life-changing program while reducing your tax burden.

So, why SAILL?

SAILL Preschool is a full-day, language-rich program tailored for children who require intensive speech and language services, regardless of hearing loss. By providing a nurturing environment and targeted support, SAILL helps young learners develop essential communication and literacy skills, paving the way for long-term success.

As an Approved Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship Organization, SAILL Preschool at DePaul is a part of the EITC program, making your contributions eligible for significant tax credits.
