Cumberland County is an area rich in historic moments preserved and relived through the Cumberland County Historical Society. The State of Pennsylvania again approved CCHS innovative education programs to qualify for Education Improvement Tax Credit Program for the 2007-2008 school year.
Corporations, which made a two-year contribution to the Society through this program, can receive a 90% tax credit for six types of credits. Those who make a one-year contribution will receive a 75% tax credit. Unlike charitable giving, Educational Improvement Tax Credits are authorized for businesses that make contributions to educational improvement organizations for innovative educational programs.
