The Foundation’s newest program allows donors to custom-create a named scholarship to be awarded annually
FAIRFAX, VA (October 21, 2022) – The Pest Management Foundation launched a brand-new Endowed Scholarship program at PestWorld 2022. Donors can establish an Endowed Scholarship named to honor an individual, association, or company. Upon establishment of each scholarship, the Foundation will promote, administer, and grant a $1,000 award to a student meeting the donor’s criteria every year in perpetuity. Scholarship names and criteria are flexible and can be customized by the donor. The minimum gift to establish an Endowed Scholarship is $25,000. Endowment gifts can be paid as a single donation, or over a five-year period.
“Endowed scholarships are an attractive way to create a lasting legacy to honor individuals or companies, while benefitting outstanding students pursuing their education”, said Jim Fredericks, the Pest Management Foundation’s Executive Director. He added, “The ability to spread the donation over five years makes it an accessible way to make a lasting impact”.
All donations to the Pest Management Foundation qualify for the maximum charitable contribution deductions by donors. To learn more about the Pest Management Foundation’s Endowed Scholarship Program visit www.NPMAFoundation.org or email foundation@pestworld.org.
