Through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit program, eligible companies can receive tax credits for contributions to innovative educational programs, such as those at Lacawac Sanctuary. Companies can receive tax credits equal to 75% of their contribution (up to $400,000 per taxable year), or up to 90% for two-year charitable commitments.

As an educational and research facility, the core purpose of Lacawac is to educate people of all ages about northeast Pennsylvania’s unique and diverse habitats and natural resources keeping true to our mission of education, research and preservation.  Our hands-on academic enrichment programs directly complement what students are learning in school, and address the Pennsylvania State Education Standards for Science & Technology and Environment & Ecology.

Our outreach enrichment programs are available to students in the following counties: Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Pike and Wayne.

Support Lacawac by Shopping at the Lake Region IGA

Lacawac is currently registered with the Lake Region Community Dock Foundation to collect funds via the Preferred Customer Card Program. We are asking our friends and supporters who shop at the Lake Region IGA to have their Preferred Customer card linked to support Lacawac. When you use your card while shopping, the sale dollars from that transaction will electronically be added to that non-profit’s account! Every quarter IGA pulls the totals and cut a check for one percent of the accumulated sales. 

Valued Lake Region IGA Customers:  Please use this form to register your Lake Region Market IGA Preferred Customer Card with the Lake Region Community Dock Foundation.  In doing so, you will be requesting the store, when you scan your card, to donate 1% of your net purchases to the Lacawac Sanctuary.

Note: If you do not have a Preferred Customer Card, you may apply for one at the same time you register with the LRCDF Preferred Customer Card Program. Use the "Preferred Customer Card Form"  A card will be mailed to you and your card number will be linked to the LRCDF Customer Registration Form for you at that time.
