Giving

Londonderry educates a diverse student body each year. Since 1971, the school has relied on community and individual sponsors to provide an educational approach otherwise not found in the Central PA area. Supporters help students maximize their learning potential.

Annual Giving

The Annual Fund is unrestricted support that touches every part of the school. Gifts help pay teacher salaries, which average about half of public school teachers' salaries. Tuition brings in about $5,000 less per student than public schools, so annual giving helps balance the budget and keep tuition low so families of all economic levels can attend.

EITC

EITC lets Pennsylvania businesses direct a percentage of state taxes to scholarships so qualifying students can attend the school of their choice. Businesses receive a tax credit for up to 90% of the donation. These gifts let Londonderry offer more financial aid. To participate, email Jennifer Pomerantz or call (717) 540-0543.

Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund lets Londonderry pursue its mission long-term and provides financial stability. It is managed carefully to give ongoing support to the school. You can give cash or appreciated stock. To donate, email Jennifer Pomerantz or call (717) 540-0543.

Several children stand around two wooden picnic tables outdoors, looking at leaves and a booklet while an adult points at the table.

United Way

Donations to Londonderry School can be made through United Way of the Capital Region either through a workplace campaign or individually.

What this looks like in practice

In most early childhood settings, donations show up as things a child can touch. Unrestricted funds buy paint, paper, blocks and outdoor gear. They pay for a teacher's time to plan small-group lessons. Parents see the result at drop-off: full shelves, working tricycles, a new set of picture books.

Support that reaches the classroom reaches the child. Smaller groups mean a teacher can sit with your child and hear them read. Fresh materials mean the art shelf has real clay, not just crayons. Gifts that keep tuition within reach mean a family can stay enrolled through the year instead of leaving mid-term.
