Financial Education
"Supporting these programs supplies children and young adults with information they otherwise may not be exposed to. This is an investment in a healthier future economy.”
-- Margaret Irvine Weir, NexTier Bank President
- In 2010, six educational organizations in western PA received funding acquired from NexTier Bank’s involvement with the state’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program. And 2010 marked NexTier’s third consecutive year of participation in the program. The positive outcome has been NexTier’s ability to distribute funds totaling $508,000 to date. A statewide program, EITC enables businesses to make donations to organizations they choose from Commonwealth-approved lists. EITC is a statewide initiative enacted by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development in 2001. EITC enables eligible businesses to apply credits against their tax liability for the tax year in which they make a contribution to support education in Pennsylvania.
- The NexTier Center for Economic Education at Butler County Community College is a partnership with EconomicsPennsylvania. Tthe Center promotes economic literacy in grades K-12 for students in Butler, Armstrong, Mercer, and Lawrence county school districts. The Center’s activities include a Business Plan Competition, Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge and Fall and Spring Stock Market Games.These activities have impacted thousands of students.
- . In 2009 and 2010, a team of three NexTier bankers taught Junior Achievement's elementary program at "His School" in Saxonburg, PA.
