PHILLY POPS  IN SCHOOLS  IS EITC APPROVED!  

The Philly POPS is a recognized and authorized participant in the EITC-EIO programs. As an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO), we can use awarded funds to support existing programs and develop new programs for our POPS in Schools in-school and after school educational activities. What does this mean to you? If you work for, or have a company that does business in PA, you are eligible to apply for tax credits for the support you provide for the POPS educational activities. See if your company qualifies for the EITC program on the Commonwealth’s website. The most beneficial option is to apply for a 2-year commitment, as this type of commitment likely qualifies for a 90% tax credit to your business. Details of the guidelines for applying and the link to the  online application can be found here.  

Please speak with Joshua Thomas Director Development, at 215.546.3207 or via email at [email protected], about how you can support these initiatives with your tax dollars.
