Did you know?  

Students in schools throughout the Diocese of Allentown benefit from over $8 Million in Scholarship funding every year.  

Where does this funding come from? 

Would it surprise you to learn it is largely from state funding? That’s right. Pennsylvania taxpayers (businesses and individuals) can re-direct their Pennsylvania Income Tax Liability back into their local community in the form of scholarship funding. 

How can you help make our schools accessible and affordable for more students? 

You can keep Pennsylvania State Taxes in your community!

If you pay Pennsylvania income taxes, you can help build a brighter future for deserving students of the Diocese of Allentown by participating in the Pennsylvania Tax Credit Program. It’s simple.  

For every contribution you make through the program, you will receive a 90% Pennsylvania Tax Credit for the year the contribution was made. To enroll in the program, you will join a Special Purpose Entity LLC approved by the state for just this purpose, and we will provide a K-1 Form to attach to your tax return in order to claim the credit.  

For more information about joining the Tax Credit program please contact Amy Impellizzeri, Lead Development Manager at BLOCS (Business Leaders Organized for Catholic Schools) assigned to the Diocese of Allentown – at aimpellizzeri@blocs.org.
