SHOWCASE OF SCHOLARS

ADOPT AN ANGEL

 

Through our highly competitive Showcase of Scholars Program, Angels' Place seeks to actively encourage and advance exceptionally high levels of scholastic achievements from our student parents while fostering a greater understanding of self, family, and community. Our Scholars set a benchmark for success as role models to their peers in the Angels' Place program.  Please contact, Meliza, in the Development Office for more information at 412.321.4447. 

  

Angels' Place provides a wide variety of services at zero out-of-pocket expenses to student parents.  These services cost our agency over $200 a week to keep one student parent and one child in our program.  Adopt-An-Angel is a yearly pledge program by which you can help defray the costs of keeping a child in our program, including a healthy nutrition program, educational supplies and creative play all in a safe, nuturing environment.  Without friends like you supporting our mission, Angels' Place cound not exist.  The major source of funds needed to operate our centers on a daily basis and help these families come from friends like you.  By becoming an Adopt-An-Angel sponsor, you can help a student parent realize her educational goals and dreams for her family!  To start helping us today, chosse your halo level of support!

HOW YOU CAN GIVE TO ANGELS' PLACE INSTEAD OF PAYING STATE TAXES

The Commonwealth enacted the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program to allow businesses to support education in Pennsylvania. Angels' Place is included on the state's list of eligible scholarship organizations through which businesses can take advantage of the Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship Tax Credit to make tax-advantaged contributions.  The scholarships go to eligible 3 - and 4- year olds enrolled at Angels' Place. 

If a business owes $10,000 in state taxes it can contribute $10,000 to Angels' place in lieu of paying that tax money to the state, as long as the supply of tax credits has not been exhausted. There is a minimum of paperwork. A business is eligible to participate if it pays one of these state taxes:

Corporate Net Income Tax

 

Personal income tax on PA business income paid by sub-chapter S corporation shareholders or partnership partners and other small and medium-sized businesses

 

Capital Stock Franchise Tax

 

Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax
