“PNC Bank is proud to have put wheels in motion for Harrisburg School District to benefit from the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act (EITC). Several years ago, PNC seized the opportunity to better leverage its support of public education through a tax credit charitable contribution to Harrisburg Public School Foundation. We encourage area businesses to participate in this unique opportunity, especially since it significantly increases--tenfold in most cases--the value of each philanthropic dollar. This is an investment in our future that pays high and long-term dividends for our businesses, our neighbors and the entire community.”
