Want to Turn your PA Taxes into Miquon Scholarships?
Then this program could apply to you!

The Miquon School is an approved scholarship organization under Pennsylvania’s EITC/OSTC programs. These programs allow individuals and businesses to redirect PA taxes to fund need-based scholarships at Miquon. Many participants receive a 90% PA tax credit when giving through an approved Special Purpose Entity (SPE).

Why it matters

This innovative program supports our School’s commitment to inclusion and accessibility by funding need-based scholarships, which are not earmarked to specific students at Miquon, thereby expanding access to our joyful, Progressive education philosophy.

Here’s how it works:

• Check your eligibility (The minimum PA tax liability is typically $1,000–$3,500, depending on the SPE.)
• Join through an SPE (We are happy to walk you through the process and match you with an SPE with whom you will sign a short joinder.)
• Make your contribution
• Receive a K-1 for your PA return, which usually arrive in Q1 (January 31 – March 1)
• Claim your credit, which is usually 90% and which the State issues after you file.

Miquon works with multiple SPEs to keep participation inclusive by offering options at different giving levels and timelines.  This strategy also helps the School maintain momentum when a particular SPE’s capacity fills quickly, ensuring there’s always a viable path for our parent community to participate.

Since Miquon is an approved scholarship organization for its K-6 students for both EITC and OSTC, we encourage our community to also discuss this opportunity with potential donors they know so they may consider making a gift to Miquon for scholarship support. Both programs operate on a first-come, first-served basis as tax credits are limited.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development administers the EITC/OSTC programs. To learn more, please reach out to Hervé Thomas, Miquon’s Director of Development, 610-828-1231, ext. 105.

Please consider making a gift and have it “give” twice! Miquon benefits from donations that are matched by corporate matching gift programs.

Please consult your company’s personnel or human resources department to find out if your company has a matching gift program. Usually, the donor will be given a simple form to send to Miquon with their gift; some companies have set up online systems for processing matching gifts

You can help to ensure a Miquon education is possible for future generations of children by making a planned gift—an arrangement in your estate plan that makes a contribution to Miquon in the future.  

Most planned gifts to nonprofits like Miquon include significant tax benefits that will greatly benefit your heirs. When you inform Miquon that you have arranged for a planned gift to the school from your estate, you become a member of the Miquon Legacy Society, and join others who have made similar plans. You will also receive an annual update about Miquon’s activities and invitations to special events.

Let us know if you have included Miquon in your estate plans. Your gift will inspire others, and we would love to include you in the list of members of the Miquon Legacy Society.

“We take pleasure in knowing that a few institutions for which we care deeply will receive one last gift from us. Our gift is unrestricted, which means we trust the Board at the time to use it in the best interest of Miquon.” –James and Arabella Pope, members, Miquon Legacy Society.
