Consider investing in a child’s future instead of sending your tax dollars to the state.

     

    Did you know that was an option?  It is! You can direct your Pennsylvania state tax dollars to support scholarships for The Glen Montessori School students. Make a mark, leave a legacy, and help students continue their Montessori education at The Glen.

    Through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, taxpayers like you—whether individuals or businesses—can make a meaningful difference in students’ lives by redirecting tax dollars while providing you with a 90% tax credit.

    Please forward this document and weblink to your tax accountant. The current tax credits are only available on a first-come, first-serve basis!  Act now!

    How It Works:

    Redirect, Don’t Just Pay: Instead of sending your tax payment directly to the state, you can redirect it to an EITC or OSTC-approved program, like The Glen Montessori School Scholarship Fund, which helps local students access quality education.

    Simple Enrollment: You’ll join as a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) member through The Glen’s partnership with the Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Fund. The process is straightforward:

    1. Complete a one-page Joinder Agreement with your estimated PA tax liability. Contact Marcia Fischer at mfischer@glenmontessori.org to receive a copy.

    2. Once tax credits are approved, you’ll contribute to the Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Fund via check. 100% of your gift will come to The Glen!

    3. Receive a K-1 form for your taxes, reflecting your donation.

    Generous Tax Credit: For every $10,000 you contribute, $9,000 can be credited against your PA taxes, with the remaining 10% eligible for a federal charitable deduction.

     

    Who Can Participate?

    Individuals or Corporations Paying PA Taxes: You are eligible if you pay PA income tax, including retirees and nonprofit employees.

    Minimum Donation: The minimum donation to join the SPE is $3,500 – but remember, this is in place of state taxes!

    Supporting Scholarships: Your redirected tax dollars will provide scholarships for students from families meeting the income requirements, giving them access to quality education at The Glen Montessori School.
