The PA BPW Foundation was established in 2008 as a 501(c)(3) organization. All money donated to either the Scholarship Fund or Edith Oler Flanigan Fund Grant is restricted for use by the guidelines established for each fund. Our donors can designate their gifts to support either fund as charitable contributions. We also have the Sharon A. Walsh Fund Grant that was endowed to us by our former Past State President (1990-1991) and was a mathematics teacher. This Grant  provides funds to a BPW/PA educator implementing the S.T.R.E.A.M. curriculum. Again guidelines have been established for this grant.  

The Board of Directors consists of eight BPW/PA Federation members who are active members of the PA BPW Foundation and the Vice President of the BPW/PA Federation. The PA BPW Foundation is a separate entity from BPW/PA. The grants and scholarship applications are reviewed by the Educational Service Committee who are appointed by the PA BPW Foundation. Their recommendations are made to the Board of Directors of the Foundation who make all final decisions. Our PA BPW Foundation Chair always provides the current work information with KEY articles, BUZZ news and reports at the State Board Meetings and State Convention.
