Pennsylvania EITC
Support Arts Education with Your Tax Dollars
Did you know that as a Pennsylvania taxpayer, you can directly support arts education by transforming your tax dollars into a gift to The Philadelphia Orchestra or The Kimmel Center, Inc. (dba Ensemble Arts Philly)?
The Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program lets you choose where your state tax dollars go. Individuals and businesses can choose to have their tax dollars support our arts education programs while also receiving substantial tax benefits. When you make a gift through EITC, you can get up to 90% of your gift back as a credit on your state taxes!
As an approved Educational Improvement Organization, The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc. (dba Ensemble Arts Philly) are proud to offer you this powerful way to invest in the next generation of artists and audiences.
How Does My EITC Support Make an Impact?
When you give through EITC, you directly impact the lives of thousands of students in the Greater Philadelphia region. Your EITC giving ignites a passion for the performing arts and nurtures artistic talent. Your gift will help us to:
- Introduce students to classical music, jazz, and musical theater
- Enable year-long music fellowships and hands on learning experiences
- Foster creativity and confidence in Philadelphia school students
- Strengthen our region’s vibrant arts and culture ecosystem
