Tax-Credit Giving for Businesses
🎉 Exciting News!
WOW Science™ has received first-time approval as an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO) under Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. Your company may be eligible to sponsor a science student and receive up to 90 percent of your contribution back in Pennsylvania state tax credits.
The tax credit program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) aims to provide businesses with opportunities to contribute to the academic success of science students while receiving a substantial tax credit in the process. This designation allows businesses participating in the EITC program to make charitable contributions directly to WOW Science and receive tax credits applied against their business tax liability!
Participating businesses that make a two-year commitment to the EITC program may be eligible to receive a tax credit of up to 90 percent of their contribution amount applied directly against their Pennsylvania state tax liability.
How it can work
When your business contributes $10,000 to our organization and makes a two-year EITC commitment, you'll receive a $9,000 tax credit applied directly against your Pennsylvania business tax liability, meaning your net cost is only $1,000 to make a lasting impact in education.
For example:
(Sample two-year calculation for a LLC, Partnership, or S-Corp)
| Your Contribution | Commitment | Tax Credit | Net Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 2-Year | $4,500 | $500 |
| $10,000 | 2-Year | $9,000 | $1,000 |
| $15,000 | 2-Year | $13,500 | $1,500 |
| $25,000 | 2-Year | $22,500 | $2,500 |
| $50,000 | 2-Year | $45,000 | $5,000 |

Understanding the EITC Program
The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program allows Pennsylvania taxpayers to redirect up to 90% of their state tax liability to support educational programs. This means your business can sponsor young students at WOW Science™ while significantly reducing your company tax bill. It's a win-win: students get access to quality STEM education, and your company can maximize its charitable impact while redirecting its tax liabilities.
