We are thrilled to share that our 𝗦𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗻’𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮 initiative was one of the 10 Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) projects in northwest Pennsylvania that was recently approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development! The NAP provides tax credits to businesses that contribute to nonprofit organizations’ efforts to strengthen and revitalize communities. Our 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮 project has $700,000 in planned improvements to our St. Ann’s Campus, which is now in its centennial year of providing education to Erie’s children. The contributions we secured through NAP will be used to improve the interior corridor of the former St. Ann’s School and install new carpeting and flooring in some of the main areas on the 1st and 2nd floors. The total impact of 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟭 and 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮 of the 𝗦𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗻’𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 will be $1.3M of significant campus improvements for the children and families who attend our Eastside programs, as well as those who live in the surrounding Pulaski-Lighthouse neighborhood. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone at PA Department of Community and Economic Development for their continued support through the Neighborhood Assistance Program! To learn more about our 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮 plans and how you can get involved, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eJQch7hx Click here for the full press release from the PA DCED: https://lnkd.in/dbt3ac62

Thanks to the Bob and Betsy Guelcher Fund established for the Residential & St Ann’s Campuses, we were able to significantly enhance the library and update and add to our book collection at our Residential campus. Recently these new books were suggested by our children! We are grateful for the ongoing support of Bob & Betsy Guelcher throughout the years. This is the most recent of many enhancements made possible through their heartfelt generosity. Betsy loved to read to the children here at Sarah A. Reed Children's Center,her spirit of reading and learning lives on through the establishment of this fund. The kids are excited to get these new titles for some Summer 2024 reading! Scott McKay works with the children and Gary L. Bukowski MA,CFRE VP for Advancement continues to seek funding to impact more children. #literacy #reading #learning #hope #legacy #growth
