The $10,000 donation will support low-income students enrolled in the program.

Allentown, PA (May 25, 2021) – Grace Montessori School (GMS), a nonprofit school and childcare center dedicated to educating students cognitively, spiritually, and physically, accepted a $10,000 donation from Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (Cabot) on May 12. The contribution benefits pre- kindergarten children of lower-income families needing tuition assistance.

Funding for the donation stems from Pennsylvania’s Education Tax Improvement Credit (EITC) program, a tax incentive program for eligible businesses contributing to a scholarship organization, an educational improvement organization, and/or a pre-kindergarten scholarship organization.

“Despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Cabot gave back at a time when the need has never been greater,” reflected Diane Cimorelli, Business Director, Grace Montessori School. “Cabot’s support allows Grace Montessori to strengthen our student impact and offer educational opportunities to families regardless of socioeconomic barriers.”

“Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation has participated in the state’s EITC program for the last ten years. The program allows us to support Pre-K and career & technology centers across the commonwealth,” said Bill desRosiers, Manager, External Affairs, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation. “The Grace Montessori School is an outstanding institution supporting students and their families throughout Allentown. Cabot appreciates the opportunity to support this school and other educational institutions throughout the region.”
