Has The Supreme Court Opened The Floodgates?
Innovative Ed Funding Effort Reaches New Milestone
BLOCS, Pennsylvania’s leading scholarship organization dedicated to the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC), is proud to announce a year of historic achievement in fundraising.
As BLOCS closes the end of their fiscal year, the non-profit organization is pleased to report they are on track to raise $250 million in need-based scholarships.
Through this level of funding, BLOCS estimates they will be able to serve more than 43,000 students in the coming school year. This is the largest population that BLOCS has ever served in a single school year in its 40+ year history.
BLOCS CEO Rob Delany celebrates these achievements with the community of donors, schools, students, and supporters of the EITC program. “BLOCS is proud to reach this milestone of serving over 43,000 students in the coming year,” Delany said. “We are incredibly grateful to our more than 150 corporate donors, thousands of individual donors, and hundreds of school partners who work with us in each facet of the EITC program to create opportunities for deserving students.”
In addition to the increased number of students served, BLOCS also ensures that children receive the greatest scholarship support possible. Thanks to the efficiencies of responsible management, more than 98 cents of every dollar contributed to BLOCS is directed to a student as a need-based scholarship.
BLOCS is the leading scholarship organization dedicated to raising need-based scholarships through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. As an independent charitable organization BLOCS provides access to high-quality, value-based education for children ages Pre-K through 12th grade across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Through the generosity of its donors, BLOCS partners with over 500 schools to provide over 40,000 need-based scholarships. More can be found at www.blocs.org.

50 Years On And Still NO Relief For NJ Taxpayers!
Yes, NJ taxpayers have been getting screwed for half a century!
Fifty years later... are we still having the same property tax debate?
— NJ Assembly GOP (@NJAssemblyGOP) July 8, 2026
During the FY2027 budget debate, Assemblyman Greg Myhre argued programs like ANCHOR and Stay NJ provide relief but don't fix why New Jersey's property taxes remain among the nation's highest.
