EDUCATIONAL INCENTIVE TAX CREDIT

Have more control over where your businesses taxes are utilized.

 

As an organization doing business in Pennsylvania and paying state taxes, you have the opportunity to make a difference in your community by participating in the Educational Incentive Tax Credit (EITC) program. By enrolling in the Educational Improvement Organization (EIO) initiative and selecting the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art (SAMA) as the recipient of your donation you help sustain SAMA’s award-winning arts education program at schools throughout this region. In short, you control where your tax dollars go and your enrollment as a participating EIO organization provides students (K-12) at schools in your community with a meaningful exposure to the arts that they would not have experienced otherwise. And, your EITC contribution can help reduce your tax rate at the state and/or federal levels. It is a win-win situation for this region’s companies, the communities you serve and our children.
