The Londonderry School is proud to educate our diverse student body each year,
and depends on the generosity of supporters like you. Since 1971 we’ve relied on community and individual sponsors
to allow our school to provide an educational approach otherwise not found in the Central PA area.
Thanks to you, we’ve helped our students maximize their learning potential.
We look forward to a bright future, with your help.
Annual Giving
The Annual Fund is a vital source of support for Londonderry School, providing essential, unrestricted funding that touches every corner of the school and shapes the Londonderry Experience. Londonderry is filled with some of the most dedicated, capable and caring teachers you will find anywhere. Annual giving helps pay for their salaries, which on average are about half of public school teachers’ salaries. Londonderry gets approximately $5,000 less than public schools per student through tuition, making annual giving critical to balance the budget.
Annual giving also enables us to keep tuition low so that the school is accessible to children from all economic levels, while helping us continue to improve academic programs and attract excellent teachers.
To donate to the Annual Fund online, click the “Support Us” button. You can also mail a check to: 1800 Bamberger Road, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
EITC
The Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) provides Pennsylvania Businesses with an opportunity to maximize their philanthropic gift giving toward educational opportunities. The program allows businesses to donate a percentage of the money they would otherwise pay in state taxes to scholarships for qualifying students to attend a school of their choice. It’s a win-win situation for businesses; the business gets a direct tax credit for up to 90% of their donation, and schools can dramatically increase their scholarship offerings for students.
Londonderry strives to make the school affordable to as many families as possible and therefore provides financial aid to qualifying families. EITC donations from businesses help make it possible for us to do this.
To find out more about the EITC program or to participate, please visit https://dced.pa.gov/programs/educational-improvement-tax-credit-program-eitc/, or contact Jennifer Pomerantz at (717) 540-0543 or jennifer.pomerantz@thelondonderryschool.org
Endowment Fund
