Fleisher Art Memorial is considered an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO) under the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.  

What is the EITC program? 

The EITC program allows eligible businesses or business owners authorized to operate in Pennsylvania to donate to support our work and receive state tax credits for their charitable contribution

 

• For a one-year commitment, you will earn a state tax credit of 75% of your contribution. 
• For two consecutive years, you will earn an increased state tax credit of 90% of your contribution if you agree to provide the same amount for those two consecutive years. 
• The non-credited portion of the gift can be claimed as a charitable contribution for federal tax purposes. 
• Businesses may request up to $750,000 in tax credits per year. 

Your gift through the EITC program is an easy way to support Fleisher’s award-winning Community Partnerships in the Arts (CPA) program, which has been operating for over 20 years. Every year, we reach nearly 2,000 K-12 students in Philadelphia’s public schools that are part of the CPA network and provide them with arts-integrated learning opportunities in their classrooms. We match qualified teaching artists to classrooms for 15-week residencies to boost academic learning in core subject areas (math, social studies, science, and language arts) and in recent years, introduced multilingual residencies to support English Language Learners.

Join more than 3,000 Pennsylvania businesses who are benefiting from the EITC program while supporting CPA’s arts-integrated learning in Philadelphia public schools. 

Any Pennsylvania business other than a Sole Proprietorship is eligible. And, if you are a Pennsylvania business or business owner subject to one or more of the following taxes below, you are eligible to participate in the EITC program to offset the below:
