Creative Vision Program for Corporations

Bringing Arts to the Classroom

For more than a decade the Pittsburgh CLO has enjoyed a partnership with local Allegheny County Schools through its Creative Vision Program, which aims to build self-confidence, empower self-expression, and model positive behavior for elementary and middle school students. Under the direction of a seasoned educational professional, the program relies upon an inter-disciplinary arts curriculum. Students put on musicals, write original plays and poetry, record CDs, create music videos and begin each day in an African Drum circle.

This effective partnership of the Pittsburgh CLO Academy, Allegheny County Schools and various funders provides students with unique opportunities to attend local performances and to give voice to their own creative spirit.

A corporate tax credit may be available to your firm from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which provides a win-win situation for your corporation, as well as for the Pittsburgh CLO and the students who benefit from your generosity. You can join other corporations that have participated in the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.

EITC allows corporations approved by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to make contributions to the Pittsburgh CLO’s Creative Vision program by utilizing up to $100,000 in tax credits. It’s simple, it’s quick, and with minimal out-of-pocket cost and minimal paperwork you can really make a difference in the lives of children!
