Every organization wants to have an impact on its community in visible, measurable ways. When you can accomplish this goal and receive something in return, it benefits everyone. And that’s exactly what the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, administered by Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), makes possible: It encourages strategic philanthropy by allowing companies to distribute their tax dollars to organizations that support the important work of our public and private schools through creative programming. Thanks to the EITC program, a two-year commitment of equal funding to an education program at Carnegie Museums can earn your company a business credit of 90% against the taxes you owe; and a one-year commitment will earn you a tax credit of 75%. And because you can also claim the donation as a charitable contribution, the tax savings may, in effect, equal or exceed 100% based on its tax obligation. Learn more about the EITC program, or contact Carnegie Museums Corporate and Foundation Giving at 412.578.2469.
Every year, the four Carnegie Museums bring a diverse range of exhibitions and educational programming to our region—reaching more than 1.3 million people as a result. Won’t you consider partnering with us as a corporate sponsor and reaping the rewards of reaching such a large and culturally engaged audience? A gift that incorporates an exhibition or program sponsorship is a marketing win-win for everyone. Specific benefits for your corporation could include access to the museum’s audience, recognition on our websites, email or onsite signage, couponing, onsite sampling events, and custom-designed programs. Call our Corporate and Foundation Giving group at 412.578.2469 to find out more.
