Grants & Donations

PEA members are committed to keeping their communities strong. Each year, through the PEA, they give thousands of dollars to charitable organizations to help others in need.

Giving Back

Giving Back Program is in abeyance since 2019 until further decision of the Association Executive.

Community Donations

The PEA believes in giving back to the communities where our members live and work and to organizations that make a real difference. As of July 13, 2017 direct appeals will no longer be accepted. If you know of an organization that deserves donation, please consider nominating them through the yearly Giving Back program, which is open to all PEA members.
