The Penn College Community Arts Center recently received a contribution from Journey Bank through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program. The donation will directly support the center’s educational initiatives, helping to expand access to arts programming for students throughout the region.

“Journey Bank is honored to support the Community Arts Center’s efforts to bring music and performing arts education to students across our region,” said Jeff Arnold, the bank’s senior executive vice president. “As a community bank, funding education initiatives that help our young people learn, grow and prosper is always a top priority."

Through the EITC program, businesses can make impactful contributions to nonprofit organizations while receiving tax credits, creating a win-win for both the community and local enterprises.

“Journey Bank’s gift underscores its commitment to strengthening the community by investing in programs that inspire creativity, foster learning and enrich cultural experiences,” said Ana I. Gonzalez-White, development director for the Community Arts Center. “We are deeply grateful for their support.”

In addition to EITC support, funding for the educational programs is derived from various sources, including individual donations, corporate sponsorships and grants. For more information about giving opportunities, contact Gonzalez-White at 570-327-7657 or email awhite@caclive.com.
