Pennsylvania EITC
Support Arts Education with Your Tax Dollars

Turn Your Tax Dollars into Theatre Education

Did you know that as a Pennsylvania taxpayer, you can directly support theatre education by transforming your state tax dollars into a gift to Philadelphia Theatre Company (PTC)?

Through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, individuals and businesses can choose to have their state tax dollars support our arts education programs—while receiving substantial tax benefits. When you make a gift through EITC, you can receive up to 90% of your contribution back as a credit on your state taxes!

As an approved Educational Improvement Organization, Philadelphia Theatre Company is proud to offer this powerful way to invest in the next generation of storytellers, artists, and creative thinkers.

How Does My EITC Support Make an Impact?

When you give through EITC, you help make theatre and arts education accessible for students across the Philadelphia region. Your support allows PTC to:

Provide free and low-cost Student Matinee performances and in-school workshops for local schools.

Expand the Drama Discovery Series, introducing young people to playwriting, acting, and storytelling.

Offer after-school intensives and career development programs that connect students to working theatre professionals.

Create inclusive and sensory-friendly experiences for neurodiverse youth and families.

Our Impact by the Numbers

Every EITC contribution helps foster confidence, creativity, and connection—ensuring that every child has access to the power of live theatre.
