F&M Trust recently donated $5,000 to the Shalom Christian Academy – a private school located in Chambersburg. The funds will provide pre-kindergarten
scholarships to the academy’s Growing Tree Preschool. Attached is a photo of the check presentation.
The donation is part of the bank’s participation in Pennsylvania’s Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. The EITC provides tax credits to eligible businesses when they contribute to scholarship organizations, educational improvement organizations or pre-kindergarten scholarship organizations. The credits allow companies to reinvest that money back into their local communities.
