Our goal is to elevate the lives of 30,000 vulnerable students by ensuring they have access to quality, inspiring schools where they can reach their fullest potential. Data shows there are 50 emerging schools that are beating the odds for students and are capable of becoming a quality school with targeted supports. By making data-driven investments in these 50 emerging schools, we can enable 30,000 vulnerable students to realize their potential, driving transformative change across Philadelphia.

Here's how you can partner with us:
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a giving vehicle that allows individuals, families, or organizations to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants over time to Elevate 215.
- Easy, Impactful Way to Support: Donors can contribute to a DAF, often managed by a public charity or financial institution. They then recommend a grant from their DAF to support Elevate 215’s initiatives.
- Flexibility in Timing: Since contributions to DAFs can be invested and grow tax- free, donors can recommend grants to ELevate 215 over time, aligning with initiatives or specific needs.

The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program allows businesses to direct their Pennsylvania state tax dollars to support educational programs, like those provided by Elevate 215.
- Elevate is an EIO approved organization
- Businesses can receive a tax credit covering up to 90% of their Pennsylvania state tax liability for eligible contributions made under the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. These contributions must support either schools that offer tuition assistance to students from low-income households or approved Educational Improvement Organizations (EIOs).
- Through EITC contributions, businesses can see their tax dollars making a difference locally, helping to enhance educational opportunities and outcomes in Philadelphia.
