PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6, 2023 ~ KeyBank has awarded 21 Western Pennsylvania organizations with more than $500,000 in funding through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. The program allows individuals and businesses to receive a state tax credit equal to 90% of their Pennsylvania state tax liability for eligible contributions made to schools that provide tuition assistance to students from low-income households or approved Educational Improvement Organizations.

Vic Laurenza, KeyBank's Western Pennsylvania Market President, said, "At KeyBank, we believe in supporting organizations and programs that help students succeed in school and eventually graduate and have access to college and career-building opportunities. We appreciate the EITC program and the opportunity to give back to the organizations that are educating the next generation of leaders."
