Since the bank began their participation in the EITC program, they have contributed over $1,000,000 to various educational foundations. Kevin Schmidt, President/CEO The Neffs National Bank noted “these organizations are continuing to face uncertain times with increased budget constraints and the need to reengineer their education programs. I would encourage local businesses to support these organizations either directly or through participation in the EITC program. This year is also special as we are celebration our 100th anniversary and are able to continue our participation with a $100,000 donation”.
