Educational Improvement Tax Credit

Each year, Historic Bethlehem Partnership receives generous donations from businesses throughout Pennsylvania. The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) provides companies with a 75 % tax credit for donations to an educational Improvement Organization. The tax credit increases to 90% if the company commits to making the same donation for two consecutive years. A business paying taxes in Pennsylvania can receive up to $300,000 in tax credits annually. More importantly, the EITC provides children and teachers with the means to engage in many fun and informative learning experiences at Historic Bethlehem Museums and Sites.

Donating to Historic Bethlehem Partnership through the EITC program is easy. All it takes is a simple, one page application specifying the donation you would like to make. Your credits get approved before you make a donation, and 100% of your donation will go directly to Pennsylvania learning experiences and field trip for Pennsylvania school students. EITC credits are approved by the Department of Community and Economic Development. Credits are limited so please contact the Common Wealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development .

EITC Programs are as follows:
The Steel Way of Life
A Century at Burnside
Discovering the Material World
Handmade in the Eighteenth Century
House on the Lecha
Presence in the Past
