BUILDING OPPORTUNITY
THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS
Penngift Foundation is a nonprofit organization approved by Pennsylvania to award scholarships through the EITC and OSTC programs. For nearly 25 years, we’ve helped connect generous businesses, private and pre-K schools, and families who need financial support. When businesses and individuals donate to Penngift, they earn Pennsylvania tax credits — and their gifts become scholarships that help students attend the school that’s right for them. We work directly with schools to find eligible families, making it easy for donors to give back while helping children across Pennsylvania access a quality education.

How Does It Work?
Pennsylvania’s educational tax credit programs offer generous state tax credits to businesses and individuals who donate to approved scholarship organizations like Penngift Foundation. Donors can receive up to 90% of their contribution back as a PA tax credit, making it an effective way to support education while reducing state tax liability. It’s a simple, rewarding way to give back and make a lasting impact for Pennsylvania students.
WHAT TAX CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE?
