KeyBank Awards More Than $1,193,000 to Eastern Pennsylvania Organizations Through Tax Credit Programs
Tax credits awarded to eligible businesses contributing to qualified organizations through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) Program and Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP).
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa, July 8, 2025 /3BL/ – KeyBank (NYSE: Key) announces it has awarded Philadelphia and Eastern PA educational organizations with funding in 2024 through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program totaling $527,222. Additional tax credit funding has been awarded through the state’s Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program and Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) for a total contribution of $1,193,889.
Under the EITC program, Pennsylvania allows individuals and businesses to obtain a state tax credit equal to 90% of their Pennsylvania state tax liability for eligible contributions. These contributions must be made either to schools that provide tuition assistance to students from low-income households or to approved Educational Improvement Organizations.
“KeyBank’s continued support through Pennsylvania’s EITC program reflects our deep commitment to fostering educational access and opportunity to all students in our community,” said Youseff Tannous, KeyBank’s Eastern Pennsylvania Market President. “We recognize the significant impact of the EITC program and the vital role it plays in enabling us to contribute meaningfully to those organizations that are shaping and educating the leaders of tomorrow. Through our investments, we are helping to provide students with access to innovative learning experiences that inspire growth, development, and a brighter future for our communities.”
