EITC/OSTC Tax Credit Approval Letters Delayed | | | Scholarships: Building a school community that is accessible & affordable for students, regardless of family size or socioeconomic status. |
If you participate in the program, here are a few general observations to help keep you on track: - Unfortunately, for the third year in a row, tax credit approval letters are delayed from the state.
- Businesses who are in year two of two, renewing or not, will likely have received their approval letters already.
- Many of our regularly supporting business scholarship donors through the EITC/Pre-K EITC/OSTC tax credit programs have notified us they received their approval letters already.
- Those who first applied to participate on July 1 may not yet have received approval as that decision is based on available funds.
- Applications for new business trying to enter the program are reviewed by DCED on a rolling basis and approval letters will be mailed following the review process.
As in past program years, once you receive your letter of approval: - Your approved contribution amount must be made to a qualifying scholarship organization (PAMSO, Faithbuilders, or another you or your accountant may choose) within 60 days to qualify for the tax credit. You may designate any portion of your annual contribution to benefits students from Hinkletown Mennonite School when make your gift.
- Provide proof of the contribution from the scholarship organization to the state in a prompt fashion following your contribution.
Should you or your accountant have any questions or need additional contact details for a scholarship organization, please contact me at HMS. We are very grateful to the many different businesses who give generously to HMS through this program each year. These EITC/OSTC gifts help provide need-based scholarships to over half of the current HMS students! |
| Venture Program Offers Unique Business-Student Partnership Opportunities The HMS Venture Program, for grades 9-12 students, continues the faith-based, hands-on and student-focused instruction that HMS is known for, plus much more!

Extra Giving Options Are Available Every Day at HMS!
Hinkletown Mennonite School appreciates the many generous business owners and other individuals who support the school through company and personal resources.
We encourage you and your business to support local charities in any way that is meaningful to you.
Hinkletown Mennonite School is not listed in any specialized giving lists for the Lancaster County Community Foundation's Extraordinary Give Initiative this year. This is due to limiting criteria and management decisions. But we encourage you to consider other ways you can continue to make special things happen at HMS through your tax-deductible giving throughout the year! We thank you for investing in students' lives!
