Together, we can accomplish more for the students.

Whether partnership for you looks like volunteering, serving on one of our leadership teams, investing financially, or a mix of those things, Charis Academy welcomes partners in the pursuit of serving our students and making an impact in their lives and the city of Hazleton.

Our school leadership would love to meet with you to find where you fit into the story of Charis Academy.

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work."

Keep Your Tax Dollars Local & Support Students

section-bg-3.png

About EITC

Eligibility:​

  • Individuals with $1,000+ Tax Obligation

  • Corporations

  • S-Corps

  • Partnerships

  • LLCs

  • Business entities

Pennsylvania is one of the few states to offer parental/school choice for families. This opportunity is provided through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. For each EITC donation, 90% of the contribution becomes state tax dollar credits. These dollars go on to fund student scholarship programs.

This is a great way for businesses and individuals to make a significant impact within the community. If you want to see revitalization in Hazleton, there is no better way than to make the CA education financially accessible to more children. 

Participating is easy! Charis Academy works with RedefinED. Reach out to us, and we will put you in contact with RedefinED.

"I followed up on the advice of a local Attorney who told me about the school.... I visited with the CEO and committed to supporting through the EITC program.... I believe IF WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD, IT WILL BE THROUGH EDUCATION.... I believe no child’s future should be determined by the income level of his or her family situation.... I urge business and professional individuals to use this opportunity to know how your tax dollars will improve the lives of many children."

Make a life-changing impact in a family's life.

The Charis Academy Adopt-a-Student Program pairs financial partners with students whose families would be unable to afford a private school education without financial support.

Partners may choose from three scholarship levels and can pay in a lump sum or monthly:

$10,000 Full Year 

Given to our students with the greatest financial need, this scholarship covers one student for an entire academic year, with a $2.5k gap left to be filled by EITC scholarship funds.

This amount goes the "second mile" to fill in a family's gap in tuition after the average parent contribution amount. This benefits the majority of our families.

$6,600 Second Mile

This level matches the average parent contribution amount and supports our families that are able to afford a higher tuition payment while not yet meeting the full cost of education.

$3,400 Partner
