Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Tuition scholarships at Pennsylvania private and parochial K-12 schools
Catholic diocesan schools across Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Altoona, Lancaster
Evangelical and Mennonite Christian academies statewide
Jewish day schools and yeshivas, mainly Pittsburgh
Independent prep and Montessori/Friends schools
Educational Improvement Organization grants to out-of-school programs

Typical grant

Median grant is about $48,000, with the middle half between $18,500 and $153,700. The largest checks, above $1 million, go to established scholarship-heavy schools like The Neighborhood Academy, St James School, and South Hills Catholic Academy; the small end funds single-school tuition awards. With 1,090 grants to 536 recipients over three years, most schools receive money in multiple consecutive years.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“PENNSYLVANIA EITC SCHOLARSHIPS”
“PENNSYLVANIA EITC EIO GRANT”
“CHARITY GRANT FOR EDUCATION”

Positioning adjacent work

Understand this is an EITC pass-through: money flows to approved scholarship organizations and EIOs, not open research grants.
If your work sits in out-of-school education, mirror The Challenge Program and Discovery Space as EIO precedents.
Secure Pennsylvania EIO or scholarship organization designation first; nothing here is funded outside that structure.
Size an EIO-style ask between $180,000 and $700,000, the range their non-school education grants occupy.

Worth knowing: Every one of the 1,090 grants went to a Pennsylvania recipient, and nearly all of the $158 million is Pennsylvania EITC tax-credit scholarship money routed to specific schools, so donor designation and state program eligibility drive allocation more than foundation discretion. A small set of large schools absorbs a big share, and the handful of non-school grants like The Challenge Program and Discovery Space are the only visible opening for a program that is not a tuition-charging school.
