The Vanguard School and Services participates in the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program 

With EITC contributions, Vanguard can award critical financial aid to children and young adults with special needs so they can access our innovative educational, clinical, and recreational programs and services, regardless of their financial circumstances. 

How does the EITC program work?
EITC provides tax credits to eligible Pennsylvania businesses that make a financial aid gift to Vanguard. A business may receive a tax credit equal to 75% of its contribution, up to a maximum of $750,000 per taxable year. A business that agrees to make a contribution to Vanguard for two consecutive years may receive a tax credit equal to 90% of its contribution.

The EITC program provides financial aid support to financially eligible families interested in enrolling in Vanguard’s programs.
