Your Generosity Supports
YC Students |
As we close the books on fiscal year 2020, we want to say "THANK YOU" to the many alumni, parents, and friends who have given thoughtfully this past year.
Gifts offered as volunteerism, donated services/goods, and contributions to the York Catholic Fund, Capital Campaign, facilities, tuition assistance, athletics, and other projects at YC are all greatly appreciated.
Your commitment to our school resulted in over 1,350 gifts to York Catholic raising over $2,900,000.00!
Thank you for your continued support of our students who would not realize the benefit of a York Catholic education without you.
Sincerely,
Katie Seufert '96
Principal

Don't Miss Your Chance for a Tax Break
|
York Catholic is excited to share some information with you that is sure to change how you view paying your state and federal taxes each year!
If you pay personal state income taxes, you now have the opportunity (whether filing individually or jointly) to choose how these taxes are spent each year by joining a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). SPEs are based on tax liability, not income, therefore each taxpayer's situation will differ. An individual or couple filing jointly must have a state tax liability of $3,500 or more to participate. To see if you qualify for 2020, you can find your PA tax liability on Form PA-40 Line 12 of your 2019 tax return.
You could receive at least a 10% deduction on your
personal federal taxes
each year, so why not have your personal state income taxes serve as tuition assistance funds, allowing more students to thrive at York Catholic High School?
If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please follow these steps:
All SPE funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so NOW is the time to submit your Joinder Agreement for the 2020 Tax Year!
For more information about this easy tax donation, please contact Katie Seufert, York Catholic Principal, at
