Ways to Give
We are always looking to partner with families, churches, and businesses to support the mission of PCS. The following are ways to financially support PCS:
EITC
EITC is by far the most important source of financial aid for PCS students!
Donors receive 90% credit on PA state taxes for donations made through this program with a two-year commitment. There are no limitations to the amount donated from corporate or personal state taxes. For example: If you typically pay $5,000 in PA taxes, you can donate $5,000 and get $4,500 credit on your taxes, making your $5,000 donation only cost $500.
Use your tax dollars for Portersville Christian School
Stock Donations through DonateStock.com
Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, PCS gets to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes — it’s a win-win for you and us! And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to Portersville Christian School.
We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button below, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.
So, remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash. By gifting stock, your support will have an even greater impact — without denting your pocketbook. This year, give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.
Federal Scholarship Tax Credit
FSTC is a 100% federal tax credit for donations capped at $1,700 per tax filer or $3,400 per married couple filing jointly.
Participation in this program costs the donor nothing since 100% of the donation will be credited toward Federal income taxes. We are waiting for Governor Shapiro to officially opt in (we anticipate the governor to opt into the program in November). PCS is currently taking contact information for those interested in participating and receiving updates.
Merit Scholarships
We accept donations for scholarships of $500 or more in an area of your choice such as Science, Literature, Math, Athletics, Theater, etc. Contact Mike McDonald at m.mcdonald@ourpcs.org.
