Mission & Vision

For over forty years, Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (“BLOCS”), has been committed to providing eligible families access to high-quality, values based private or faith-based education, providing students with a positive and successful pathway forward.

Viewed as the premiere scholarship organization in PA, BLOCS partners with more than 100 Archdiocesan and more than 300 private Catholic and non-Catholic schools to provide over 16,000 need-based scholarships each year. Through partnership with Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development’s Educational Improvement (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) Programs, we offer donors up to 90% credits on their Pennsylvania taxes when redirecting their personal or corporate tax liability as scholarship donations through BLOCS.

More than 96¢ of every dollar donated to BLOCS is distributed directly to families through our partner schools. We award tuition assistance to as many children – of any religion – as possible. Our work will continue until every family who desires a value-based Catholic education can afford one.

BLOCS raises more $50M annually in private and corporate donations for families in need.

We believe every school-aged child, regardless of race, religion or financial circumstance, deserves a future filled with promise + hope.
