Corporate giving through Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) offers a powerful way for businesses to support St. Martin Center while receiving significant state tax credits in return. These programs allow your organization to turn tax liability into meaningful community investment.

Through NAP and EITC contributions, you help St. Martin Center expand critical services such as food assistance, housing support, and early childhood education. Your partnership directly strengthens our ability to serve individuals and families in need while also providing a smart financial benefit for your business.

  • The Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), is a tax credit program that encourages businesses to invest in distressed communities by making contributions to eligible nonprofit organizations like St. Martin Center. In return, participating businesses receive significant state tax credits for their support.

    NAP contributions help us expand and strengthen programs that promote long-term stability for individuals and families. This includes critical housing support and down payment assistance programs that help working families move toward homeownership.

    If you are interested in being a contributor, contact Michele Bagnoni at 814-452-6113 ext. 216 or David González at ext. 210.

  • This program allows Pennsylvania businesses to direct their state tax dollars to Early Childhood Education scholarships and receive a tax credit of up to 90%. The process is straightforward, and most accountants are already familiar with the program. Your support of our Early Learning Center helps provide high-quality early education experiences for children who may not otherwise have access. These early learning opportunities build a strong foundation for lifelong success—impacting not just a classroom, but generations to come.
