EITC & CTF
Turn Your PA State Income Taxes
Into Scholarships for CCA Students
A Simple Way to Make a Life-Changing Impact
At Crawford Christian Academy, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a Christ-centered environment. Through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, you have a remarkable opportunity to turn your Pennsylvania state taxes into scholarships that directly bless CCA students and families.
Rather than sending your tax dollars to the state, EITC allows you to redirect those funds to invest in the next generation—students who are growing in their faith, developing strong character, and being equipped for their future callings.
Why Your Participation Matters
Many CCA families desire a biblical, academically strong education for their children but need financial help to make it possible. By participating in EITC, you become part of their story.
Your contribution provides need-based scholarships, opening the door for students to experience a school community grounded in truth, discipleship, and excellence.
And the best part?
Approved participants receive a 90% PA tax credit for their contribution—making this one of the most impactful and cost-effective ways to give.
Act Early — Credits Are Limited
EITC credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability is limited each year. Participants are automatically approved for their second year, but a new two-year agreement is required for each cycle.
If you plan to give, we encourage you to take the first step as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
Who Can Participate?
Individuals / Couples
Any Pennsylvania taxpayer with an annual PA personal income tax liability of $1,000 or more can participate. Tip: Check line 12 on your PA-40 tax form to confirm your PA tax liability.
Businesses
Eligible entities include C-Corporations, as well as owners of S-Corporations, LLCs, LPs, LLPs, and Partnerships.

Give the Gift of a Christ-Centered Education
At Crawford Christian Academy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a Christ-centered, academically strong environment—regardless of financial circumstance. The Children’s Tuition Fund (CTF), a ministry of ACSI, helps make that possible. And with your partnership, even more students can receive the gift of Christian education.
Your Contribution Makes a Direct Impact
Through state scholarship tax-credit programs, CTF allows individuals and businesses to turn tax dollars into life-changing tuition assistance for families who qualify. As a certified Scholarship Granting Organization, CTF handles all tax-credit processing and approval, ensuring your support goes exactly where it’s needed most: to students who long for a school where their faith can grow.
Opening Doors for Families
CTF currently operates in Alabama, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia—and will soon help facilitate the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit launching in 2027. As these programs expand, so does the opportunity to reach more students with the hope, truth, and discipleship found in Christ-centered education.
Why Your Gift Matters
Every scholarship awarded through CTF represents a story—
a student who is welcomed,
a family who is supported,
a child whose future is shaped by faith.
Your generosity helps open the door for families who desire a Christian education but need financial assistance to make it possible.
Join Us in Making a Difference
When you give through the Children’s Tuition Fund, you are not only blessing CCA students—you are investing in transformed lives, strengthened families, and the next generation of Christ-centered leaders.
