What is BLOCS? Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools Through the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program, you can provide scholarships to students in our area that enable them to attend Catholic Schools.
Business Owners:
If you could
donate $1000 to help provide a St. Gabriel parishioner with a catholic
education and only really spend less than $100, would
you?
¨ Businesses

based scholarships to help pay Catholic School Tuition.
¨ These
donation qualify for the Educational Improvement Tax Credit, which
allows for a tax
credit of up to 90% of the amount of your
donation.
¨ Money
donated to this program can be designated directly to a qualifying St. Gabriel Parishioner
attending St. James Regional Catholic School.
