As a nonprofit, Penn is not required to pay property taxes, which provide a substantial part of the funding for the Philadelphia public school district. Members of Penn for PILOTs Mary Summers, Akira Drake Rodriguez, and Amy Offner make the case for why Penn should make payments in lieu of taxes to fund public education in Philly.
