Contribute
There are several ways to contribute to the PFMA Education Trust. The first is to make a tax-free donation to the trust itself. Gifts given directly to the trust will be used to fund the scholarships given to several Pennsylvania colleges and educational groups.

Ridge Fund Contributions
Companies may also make a gift directly to the Thomas R. and Laura Ridge Scholarship Fund. In doing so, companies ensure the continuation and growth of the Ridge Scholarships by building an endowment so that Ridge Scholarships can be given in perpetuity. Association members and contributors are asked to encourage employees and/or children of employees to apply for scholarship awards.

To make a contribution to the Ridge Fund, send your check to:

Ridge Scholarship Fund
P.O. Box 870
Camp Hill, PA 17001-0870

Create an IRS-Approved Scholarship
Member companies wishing to give scholarship grants to their own employees can do so through the PFMA Education Trust. By making a tax deductible gift to the trust and designating that the funds be used to provide scholarships to your own employees or their children, the Education Trust serves as a vehicle for making tax-free scholarship awards. When PFMA convenes its Ridge Scholarship judging panel each April, an independent judging panel selects scholarship recipients for your company.

Awards will be tax-free to scholarship winners and contributions to the fund are tax deductible for the sponsoring company. For information on creating an IRS-approved Scholarship Program for your company, contact PFMA at (800) 543-8207 or e-mail us at .
