Individual & Business Tax
Credit Program Creates Scholarships

Turning your PA state taxes into JPII scholarships is as easy as 123. Does line 12 of your PA Income Tax Return show a $3,000+ PA tax liability? If yes, you can participate!

Through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, donors can receive up to a 90% tax credit against their personal PA state tax liability by making their gift through this program. When making the gift, simply state that you would like to designate your funds for John Paul II Center for Special Learning and you’ve created a scholarship as easy as 123!

Through JPII’s partnership with King of Prussia-based BLOCS, an individual or company who wishes to take advantage of this tax-credit program may become a member of a BLOCS Scholarship LLC (“LLC”) with a 2-year commitment to fund the LLC. These credits will be distributed to each member via K-1 and are then applied to your PA tax liability for the tax year in which the donation is made.

Last year, JPII provided over $1.3 million in scholarships and financial aid to JPII families, which covers 96% of their tuition.

To learn more about how you can direct your tax dollars to help JPII students while receiving a 90% tax credit, please contact Melissah Jablonski at mjablonski@johnpauliicenter.org.
