Educational Opportunities Foundation
The Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association's Educational Opportunities Foundation was formed to address the shortage of people entering the manufacturing field by supporting students, school technical programs and educational institutions.
The Foundation awards scholarships in amounts up to $1,000 to help motivated students with an interest in manufacturing get the training they need to become successful in the field. We realize we also need to support the institutions that are responsible for training our students. For that reason, the Foundation donates money to schools to help them finance the purchase of much needed new equipment and software. Providing them with the necessary tools for properly educating our youth ensures that new employees are ready and prepared for their careers in manufacturing.
There are numerous ways to assist the MPMA Educational Opportunities Foundation develop a trained and motivated workforce. Please consider a contribution today to ensure a solid workforce tomorrow with a tax deductible donation, a named endowment or by including the MPMA Foundation in your estate.
