Pennsylvania has created and supported two transformational programs that allow companies, and now individuals, who ordinarily pay state taxes to direct their tax payments to organizations like First Tee — Greater Philadelphia. In exchange, participating businesses and individuals are given a tax credit for that year by the state.
Businesses apply through the state to receive up to a 75% tax credit for a 1-year commitment and up to a 90% tax credit for a 2-year donation commitment.The tax credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting July 1st until the tax credit dollars are used up. These tax credit dollars are typically distributed on the first day of application (July 1st). Businesses are encouraged to apply on July 1st.
Thank you to those supporters contributing to our mission through EITC funding!
