The visionary first leaders of the Foundation paved
the way for its success by establishing a solid financial base to work from.
Through strong fundraising efforts, a permanent endowment fund was established
and then wisely invested. Policies and spending formulas were carefully set to
provide funding for programs, while protecting the endowment so that it would
be able to support the Foundation’s work for generations to come. Investment
earnings from the endowment, combined with funds raised through the Invest
in Your Future Annual Giving Campaign, are what support the
Foundation’s educational program efforts today.
With its
funding in place and the backing of strong supporters, the PHCC Educational
Foundation quickly established itself as a leading provider of education and
training for the plumbing and HVACR industry. For the last 20 years, the
Foundation has been helping contractors improve the way they do business
through a host of educational offerings.
