Thank you for your interest in planning an event to benefit the PMA Foundation for Industry Talent. From hosting a dinner party, to organizing a golf tournament or tennis match, to donating proceeds from product sales, there are countless ways that you can raise funds to help further the mission of PMA Foundation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
The funds raised from third party events will help support the mission of the PMA Foundation for Industry Talent – Help sustain a vibrant global produce industry through its most valuable resource…people.
The PMA Foundation is a charitable, 501(c)3, tax-exempt organization. We follow all IRS regulations for charitable giving and acknowledgments while tracking any changes that may affect event fundraising, gift acknowledgment and gift receipts.
Third Party Events should complement the mission, image and core values of the PMA Foundation. Companies or organizations whose mission conflicts with the mission or core values of the PMA Foundation may not organize events to benefit the PMA Foundation.
The following guidelines provide helpful information for planning a successful fundraising event and generally define the extent to which the PMA Foundation can provide services for your event, however additional policies and procedures may apply.
