National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPBC) announced today a $55,808 contribution to the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation. The donation is part of more than $1,000,000 contributed this year to eligible organizations across its marketplace by National Penn through its participation in Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.
“It is with great pleasure that we announce our contribution to the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation,” said Bruce Smith, president of National Penn’s Central Region. “National Penn takes pride in giving back to the local communities we are privileged to serve and continually looks to support local programs and schools to help our youth continue their education.”
The educational contribution was allocated in varying amounts to six different schools, including Holy Guardian Angels, John Paul II Center for Special Learning, Inc., La Salle Academy, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Francis Academy and St. Ignatius Loyola School. In addition, a contribution was made directly to the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation to be used across its footprint.
