Mark and Janice Waldman P ’07, ’14 EITC Participants*
“ We were excited to learn about the EITC program… It’s like charitable giving on steroids!” Why did you choose to take part in EITC? We were excited to learn about the EITC program because we saw it as a way to contribute to the school in a much bigger way than we would otherwise be able to afford. Because of our situation as stock owners in a small- to medium-sized family business incorporated in Pennsylvania, we could take money that we would otherwise pay in state taxes and earmark it for George School instead. It still costs us out-of-pocket dollars to make this contribution, but that contribution is multiplied times ten before the school receives it. It’s like charitable giving on steroids! How do you feel about the financial aid your contributions support? One of the reasons we are passionate about the EITC program is that the money is put to great use providing scholarships for George School students. We recently received a beautiful letter from the recipient of a scholarship through the EITC, who wrote, “I want to thank you for your peace of mind and care. Without your help there is no way that I would be able to attend this marvelous school. It’s people like you who keep this world full of doctors, and writers, and dancers. People who are less fortunate still deserve the chance to make their dreams come true.”
New Hope, Pennsylvania residents Mark and Janice Waldman have five children, two of whom have attended George School. The youngest, Scarlett ’14, is currently a sophomore day student, while the next youngest, Daisy ’07, just graduated from Connecticut College and is working in New York. The Waldmans’ family business, located in the Lehigh Valley, manufactures women’s swimwear, including the popular Miraclesuit. * P ennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program provides tax credits to Pennsylvania businesses for supporting tuition assistance in independent schools, in essence allowing taxpaying businesses to direct where their tax dollars are spent. As a recognized scholarship recipient since the program’s inception in 2001, George School has received several EITC gifts, which have helped low-income Pennsylvania students realize the dream of a George School education.
