WILLIAMSPORT — The Community Arts Center received a $3,000 donation from Jersey Shore State Bank as part of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.
The funds will be used to support the approved Educational Series programming at the CAC, which includes Romeo & Juliet; Full STEAM Ahead Vol. 2: World in Motion; Keep Marching — The Road to the March on Washington; and Rosie Revere, Engineer.
“Jersey Shore State Bank is proud to support the Community Art Center’s continued commitment to educational programming in the arts and the opportunities offered to the youth in our area,” said Natasha Mantle, JSSB Williamsport Branch Manager.
The Community Arts Center is an approved Educational Improvement Organization by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. The EITC program provides tax credits to eligible companies that do business in the state when they contribute to scholarship organizations, educational improvement organizations and/or pre-kindergarten scholarship organizations.
“This generosity allows us to bring the wonder of live performance to young people throughout our community, both on the stage and in the audience. EITC funds are essential in developing the arts through our region, and we’re thrilled to partner with Jersey Shore State Bank in supporting this mission,” said Jim Dougherty, Executive Director of the CAC.
Funding for the educational programming is derived from various sources, including EITC Funds, donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants.
“I appreciate very much this contribution to our educational programming from Jersey Shore State Bank,” said Ana Gonzalez-White, College Relations Officer in charge of CAC Development. “In addition to the learning that takes place, it’s one of the most fun programs we offer.”
