The Dime Bank Donates $5,000 Through EITC Program
February 13, 2020
The Dime Bank donated $5,000 to Greater Pike County Community Foundation through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.
Through Greater Pike, the EITC Program provides significant funding for innovative educational programming enhancements in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) at Delaware Valley School District (DVSD). The funding will continue to support the MakerSpace laboratory and summer science camp as well as help kick-off a new afterschool LEGO-based computer coding club for elementary school students. This new program will explore hands-on learning and impact the students’ education and preparation for an increasingly technology-based world.
Executive Director Jenni Hamill of Greater Pike said, “Greater Pike Community Foundation values our longstanding partnership with The Dime Bank, Delaware Valley School District, and PA’s Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). We are committed to bringing EITC dollars to our local schools to benefit our students and future leaders. We would also like to thank The Dime for their ongoing support and involvement in our community. The Dime Bank most certainly makes Pike ‘Greater’!”
