Educational Improvement Tax Credits

Businesses can make contributions for Educational Improvement Tax Credits from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If your company/business utilizes such tax credits, please consider making Gwen’s Girls the beneficiary.

Our Workforce Readiness program has been determined to be an “innovative educational program” by the Department of Community and Economic Development and the Pittsburgh Public Schools. This educational program is not a part of the regular academic curriculum, but it serves as a tremendous enhancement.

 

The manner in which job shadowing and gender-based programming motivates and assists students in reaching their goals is of deep interest to the Pittsburgh Public Schools, and together we are working to enhance learning outcomes for the students we serve.

We are deeply grateful to Duquesne LightFirst Commonwealth BankHefren Tillotson, Inc.HighmarkNorthwest Savings Bank; and UPMC Health Plan for their generous EITC contributions.
