Fund Raising

Annual Giving Campaign
Support Waldorf Education Now


EITC
(Educational Improvement Tax Credit)
Pennsylvania’s tax credit legislation enables businesses to donate their tax dollars to a scholarship fund—making a real difference in the lives of children seeking a better education.

Education Tax Credits (EITC) are targeted for more budget cuts – even though basic education funding is being increased by $354 million in the same budget. But the EITC helps kids attend the school that’s right for them and provides enhanced opportunities for kids in public schools. Which translates to a brighter future for Pennsylvania.

Contact your legislator today at www.operationrestorepa.org.

The Susquehanna Waldorf School benefits from this scholarship fund and would like to thank the businesses who contribute:

Donegal Mutual Insurance Company
Union National Bank

Through York County Community Foundation EITC’s Opportunity Scholarship Fund the following companies
Frontier Communications
Graystone Bank
Highmark
Metro Bank
UPMC Diversified Services, Inc.
