Impact of Giving

Manheim Township Educational Foundation provides resources to educators, administrators and students and school-related groups for innovative educational programs.  MTEF grants support the “aha moments” – inspirations, insights, and ideas – that take learning experiences to the next level.  Projects increase engagement, differentiate instruction, encourage collaboration, integrate disciplines, connect curriculum to real life and elevate education across the district.

Benefiting thousands of students annually, MTEF-funded projects align with the Manheim Township School District’s comprehensive plan and mission to nurture and challenge for success. Your support of MTEF enables us to fund innovations at every grade level as we strive to create an exceptional educational experience for all students.

MTEF is an independent, registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Educational Improvement Tax Credit

Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program awards tax credits to eligible businesses contributing to qualified organizations; MTEF is an Educational Improvement Organization approved to receive EITC contributions.

A tax credit of 75% of the amount donated (90% for a two-year commitment of equal amounts) is available for businesses approved to participate. The EITC provides businesses an affordable opportunity to provide significant support to our children – Pennsylvania’s future –  and fulfill philanthropic goals while directing tax dollars to qualified organizations of their choice.

Businesses must apply to the Department of Community and Economic Development for this tax credit by July 1. Learn more about the EITC guidelines and applications here or contact us for more information.
