Donate: PA Preschool Tax Credit
What is it:
Children in Venango County may be eligible for pre-kindergarten scholarships within a Child Development Centers, Inc. facility. If a child is at least 3 years of age and will be attending a school district partnering with Child Development Centers, Inc. and meets the income guidelines, the child will be enrolled as a student and will receive a scholarship. Pre-kindergarten programming within Child Development Centers, Inc. meets the guidelines through certification required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Children may receive tuition scholarships to participate in such programs provided they meet the program requirements. Because the children have been able to attend the center they are learning skills for entrance into kindergarten that will improve their likelihood for success in later education.
Business Eligibility:
If you are a C or an S corporation and pay one of the following taxes in Pennsylvania: Corporate Net Income Tax, Capital Stock Franchise Tax, Bank & Trust Company Shares Tax, Title Insurance Company Shares Tax, Insurance Premiums Tax or Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax, or Personal Income Tax of S corporation shareholders or Partnership partners you can help the children of Venango County. This program is not considered a donation as you are accustomed to, but rather a redirection of your tax dollars to the community. Last year over 30 scholarships were provided to 3 and 4 year old children for preschool. The program is very helpful to local families.
