The highly successful Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program was cut by $15 million last year and was scheduled to be cut another $10 million this year; but thanks to the leadership and support of many state lawmakers, EITC will be funded at the same level as last year – $60 million. Better still, the share that funds scholarships for students in nonpublic schools was increased more than $2 million to $40 million.

EITC provides a tax credit to businesses that contribute to organizations that give scholarships to students to attend the school of their choice. Many Catholic school students benefit from EITC scholarships. If your state Representative or state Senator is on this list, visit, call, fax, writer or send an e-mail to thank him or her for supporting EITC. (NOTE: some legislators represent more than one diocese.)

Not sure who is your state legislator? Look it up with this tool from the Pennsylvania Catholic Advocacy Network.
