TURN YOUR TAX DOLLARS INTO TUITION  

Do you own a company that pays Malt Beverage Tax? Your company may be eligible to participate in the Education Improvement Tax Credit Program.

 

HB91 has amended the list of taxes which are eligible for inclusion to the EITC program to include the Malt Beverage Tax. This year, we were so lucky to have over $147,000 in tuition assistance to offer financial aide to OLP families. Next year, we WILL be increasing that amount, and we hope that you will participate in this tax program to make this happen.

 

Please call Ashley Caldwell at 838-3548 or email at acaldwell@olpcrusaders.org to schedule an appointment to learn how your company can give the gift of education!
