There is still time in 2022 to redirect your PA tax dollars to Bishop Shanahan High School. The EITC program allows individuals and businesses to redirect their PA income taxes so that qualifying families can receive tuition assistance for BSHS! This program allows YOU to tell Harrisburg how to use YOUR tax dollars. This school year, 183 Shanahan students have received tax credit program tuition assistance made available in 2021! The donated tax dollars stayed in our school community so that these families could afford a Catholic education. Thank you to those who made it possible! With a 2-year commitment, donors receive a tax credit up to 90% of the donated amount. The remaining 10% may be eligible for a federal tax deduction. Click HERE to learn more. Additionally, this video features an overview of the program. Contact Giving@shanahan.org to begin!
