Corporation, Businesses & Foundations
There are a number of ways that businesses and corporations, no matter how large or small, can partner with the Benedictines Sisters of Erie.
Corporate, private and family foundations support the Benedictine Sisters and their Ministries. Please let us know if your company has such a giving program or if you know of a foundation whose giving philosophy might fit with our ministry.
If your business is paying taxes in Pennsylvania you may already be approved for the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program which allows tax credits for donations to qualified non-profits. If you haven’t already taken advantage of this program and would like more information please contact the Development Office or go to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Web site NewFundingDealNewPA.com. Two of our ministries qualify for tax credit donations under the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit program. The Inner-City Neighborhood Art House can receive contributions for their approved educational programs and Saint Benedict Child Development Center qualifies for their approved Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship program.
The Benedictine Sisters of Erie, in partnership with the private sector, can ensure that the vital programs needed to bring about positive change in the Erie community will continue to flourish.
