Businesses & individuals with a tax liability can join a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) to take full advantage of the PA EITC programs. These SPE’s or Pass-Through entities are created as a vehicle for directing EITC funds to families at our school. As part of the Faith Builders, individuals and businesses with a tax liability of at least $3,000 receive credit for their PA Taxes (90% for a 2-year commitment) and participate in the ongoing success of BMS! Contributors will receive tax documents by the end of January of the year following their contribution to claim their tax credits. Educational Tax Credit refunds are then usually received in the fall due to long processing times in the Pennsylvania tax departments. If your tax liability is a bit lower, consider Children's Tuition Fund whose minimum contribution is $1,000.
Jennifer Barnhart, PA State Coordinator for the program is happy to answer any questions you may have! Join Children's Tuition Fund

“As a Christian and a conservative, I find it increasingly difficult to raise my two sons with the same values in today's society. Belleville Mennonite School helps instill Christian values into my sons' lives, which I could not do alone. Thank you to BMS and their EITC Business Partners for assisting us in our journey.”

“A part of the MCS Bank mission is to invest our resources in ways that positively impact our community. One way we fulfill this mission is by supporting local families and their children who seek a Christian-based education at Belleville Mennonite School. The EITC program enables us to provide a larger contribution to the school’s scholarship fund than would otherwise be possible.”
