The Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) awards tax credits to eligible businesses contributing to qualified organizations.

Today KeyBank announced it has awarded 16 Western Pennsylvania organizations with funding through Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program totaling more than $525,000.

Our mission is to empower students not only to excel in their studies but also to graduate successfully, thereby gaining access to valuable college and career-building opportunities," said Vic Laurenza, KeyBank's Western Pennsylvania Market President. "We recognize the significant impact of the EITC program and the vital role it plays in enabling us to contribute meaningfully to those organizations that are shaping and educating the leaders of tomorrow. By investing in education, we are investing in a brighter future for our communities."
