Phoenixville Community Education Foundation (PCEF) has been approved by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) as both an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO) and a PreK Scholarship Organization (PKSO).

Why donate to PCEF through EITC?

Because it is a win/win situation! By making a tax deductible donation to PCEF through the EITC program, not only do you receive a reduction in your tax liability, but your company is making a positive impact in the community by supporting the innovative educational programs in the Phoenixville Area School District and/or providing our financially disadvantaged families with assistance in obtaining a quaility preschool education for their children.

Businesses making an EIO donation may be eligible to receive a tax credit of 75% for a one year commitment or 90% for a two year commitment. Eligible companies may take up to $750,000 in tax credits per fiscal year.

Businesses making a PKSO donation may be eligible to receive a tax credit equal to 100% of the first $10,000 contributed and up to 90 percent of the remaining amount contributed up to a maximum credit of $200,000 annually.
