Generations of Excellence in Catholic Education
Foundation for Catholic Education

Founded in 2010, the Foundation for Catholic Education is a not-for-profit organization supporting the Executive Board of Elementary Education and the County Advisory Councils throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The six county Advisory Councils, working with the Executive Board of Elementary Education and the OCE, are developing local strategies and fundraising efforts for the Catholic Elementary Schools within each county.
Their goal is to leverage the EITC and OSTC programs to maintain and increase the enrollment in our Catholic Elementary Schools by providing families access to an affordable parochial education. The advisory councils have demonstrated their commitment to the cause through the continued distribution of EITC and OSTC funding, successful county-wide Galas, supplying mini-grants to support special projects at schools in need, participating in the Sponsor-A-Student program as well as supporting school needs on an individual basis.

TuitionCare
Do you want to have a say in where your PA tax dollars go?
Are you interested in receiving a reduction in your tuition?
Join the TuitionCare program!!!
WHAT IS TUITIONCARE?- TuitionCare is a unique program established by the Foundation for Catholic Education that takes advantage of the EITC Program offered by the State of PA to benefit Saint Agnes Families in grades K-8.
- This program allows you to control and direct where your PA state tax dollars go, receive a 90% Tax Credit AND reduce your Tuition!
- Would you rather direct your taxes to Harrisburg or Saint Agnes?
- All Saint Agnes school families from grades K-8 benefit from TuitionCare regardless of their participation or contribution amount. However, the more participants, the lower tuition is for K-8 families!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Participants (School Families and Saint Agnes Parishioners) contribute funds to the Foundation’s Special Purpose Entity (SPE), a legal entity created with a predefined purpose (supporting Catholic Education).
- The Foundation will then issue $1,000 to Saint Agnes for every participant.
- Saint Agnes will distribute the total Tuition Reduction Grant (TRG) evenly among all K-8 school families.
- In parallel, participants will receive a 90% tax credit from the State.
- The commitment to TuitionCare is for two years, after the 2 years the Foundation will automatically re-enroll you unless you choose to opt out of the program.
- Minimal contribution is $100
- A brief overview about TuitionCare was given during Mass this past weekend and sent home with your child today!
