Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC)

Many Pennsylvania taxpayers are eligible to redirect up to 90% of their Pennsylvania tax liability to support tuition assistance and educational opportunities at Kaiserman JCC.
Instead of sending those dollars to the state, you may be able to direct them through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, where they can help children and families right here in our community.

The funds received by Kaiserman JCC are used exclusively for tuition assistance for eligible families, helping ensure that children have access to high-quality early childhood education and enriching educational experiences regardless of financial circumstances.
