BLOCS continues to grow its impact and reach in Allentown and Greater Lehigh Valley
King of Prussia (May 15, 2025) - Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) is pleased to announce their next step in supporting educational opportunities across Pennsylvania by assuming responsibility and operations of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program for the Allentown Diocese.
For many years BLOCS supported schools and students in the Allentown Diocese and broader Lehigh Valley region and worked in partnership with the diocese operated scholarship organization, the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation (EPSF). BLOCS will now manage and operate the EITC program in support of schools in the Allentown Diocese.
In conjunction with this, BLOCS welcomes Amy Impellizzeri to the King of Prussia based organization. Ms. Impellizzeri previously served as the Director of Scholarships and championed the EITC effort for the Allentown Diocese and EPSF.
"We are thrilled to have Amy join BLOCS, and we look forward to bringing our full team and dedicated services to the donors and schools of the Allentown Diocese and their broad region,” said Rob Delany, CEO of BLOCS. “We have enjoyed a collaborative relationship with Amy and are grateful for the opportunity to continue our work to increase the amount of scholarships for our children."
“Diocese of Allentown schools are filled with potential,” said Dr. Michael St. Pierre, Superintendent of Catholic Education in the Diocese of Allentown. “We believe that our inclusion in the BLOCS system will allow us to grow our funding for schools exponentially.”
The BLOCS team is in the process of visiting the members of the education system and region.
