PWA CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL FUND

Charities Supported by the PWA Charitable and Educational Foundation

National Endowment Scholarship Fund
This fund was established in 1999 by President Virginia Sikora. The purpose of the Fund is to raise enough money so that the interest from the capital in the fund could provide scholarships for Polish American youth long into the future.

Dziecko Polskie Fund
This fund was created to benefit Polish children in need of assistance due to health problems and also to help Polish children who are orphans. This charity has been close to the hearts of PWA members for generations.

Glos Polek Centennial Exhibition Fund
This fund was established in 2010, the year of the 100th anniversary of the Glos Polek. Donations to this fund were used to prepare and promote the Glos Polek Centennial Exhibtion A Voice of Their Own and related programs and will help fund the costs of traveling the Exhibition to other cities in the US and in Poland.

Maria Konopnicka Museum and School
The beloved Polish author is an Honorary Member of PWA and PWA members have in the past supported both the school and museum in the town where she spent the last years of her life. See article about the Museum here ("Special Donation to a Special Museum").

Disaster Relief Fund
This fund was created at the time of Hurricane Katrina when PWA members wanted to do what they could to help. Some funds have been paid out for Katrina relief, but the name was changed to Disaster Relief, so that the Foundation has funds ready next time there is a disaster of any kind that affects our members.

PWA Library Fund
This fund was created when the PWA Library was reestablished at our new location earlier this year. The library is in need of programs, a part-time librarian, and of course new books.

American Heart Association Fundraising Drive
In February 2011, PWA joined the Americnan Heart Association in support of its Go Red campaign to raise funds for the education, awareness, and more research into heart disease, the leading cause of women's deaths in the United States.

General Fund
Occasionally, an organization or person comes to the PWA with a very worthy cause. The PWA Charitable and Educational Foundation supports these causes from this General Fund.
