Educational Information Tax Credit
The EITC program is a mechanism to allow businesses to support innovative educational programs in exchange for a reduction in state tax.
Contributions to Lower Macungie Library through Pennsylvaniaโs EITC program allow companies to support our educational programs serving children who reside in Lower Macungie Township and Alburtis Borough while also receiving a significantly smaller state tax bill. Through EITC, eligible Pennsylvania companies can receive tax credits equal to 75 percent of their contribution (up to $750,000 per taxable year), or up to 90 percent for two-year charitable commitments. For more information, please visit dced.pa.gov.
Your companyโs charitable giving becomes a low-cost gift when you redirect your state business taxes to the participating Educational Improvement Organization of your choice.
We hope you will consider Lower Macungie Library for your EITC Contribution.
