EITC & Corporate
You can give through corporate giving programs
Many businesses have corporate giving programs either through the United Way, Truist, Benevity, or other workplace campaign programs. The Pathway School welcomes support through these programs as well as matching gifts from participating corporations.
If you are a Pathway supporter and work for a company, please check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program. This is a wonderful way to increase the impact of your gift to Pathway! Some companies also have foundations or other corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs that are set up to support nonprofit organizations in communities where their employees live and work. Because Pathway’s students come from several counties and over 50 school districts in the region, we welcome support from corporate foundations and CSR programs whose funding focus includes programs related to K-12 education, students with special education needs, at-risk and students from low socio-economic families, career development, and youth job programs.
