EITC Program/Donations

Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program Helps Non-Profits

The Seneca Valley Foundation (SVF) welcomes donations through PA's EITC program. This statewide initiative enables businesses to make donations to non-profit organizations like SVF. Enacted by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development in 2001, the program provides credits to businesses against their tax liability for the tax year in which they make a contribution to support education in Pennsylvania.
 
Funds donated through this program support the following courses at Seneca Valley:
  • Women in Engineering (a class for high school girls that focuses on engineering concepts)
  • Honors Engineering (an enhanced course on engineering exploration and robotics technology)
  • Accounting (college-credit accounting class for high school students in grades 10-12)
