Corporate Gifts – These can be targeted for specific projects or for core operating support of the organization.

Planned Giving/Memorial Bequests – These provide long-term planning that will allow your commitment to public education to live on.

Change For Children – A program that allows individuals in a school system to support the Great Idea Grant Initiative by making direct contributions to the teacher-level grant fund in their home district. You can donate the change from your paycheck or make a specified contribution each month.

Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) – Authorizes the award of tax credits to businesses that make contributions to educational improvement organizations such as the Consortium. A business may receive a tax credit equal to 75% of its contribution to an approved organization, up to a maximum of $200,000 per taxable year. The tax credit may be increased to 90% of the contribution made if the business agrees to provide the same contribution to the organization for two consecutive years. A contribution is a donation of cash, personal property or services.
