Corporate Partners Campaign to benefit scholarship fund

The National Propane Gas Foundation Scholarship Fund’s (NPGF/SF) 2021 Corporate Partners Campaign is in full swing, as it aims to help the children of National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) member company employees with their higher education goals.

The campaign, which continues through the summer, is the industry’s primary means of generating financial support for the NPGF/SF this year. Without in-person meetings, the group was not able to hold its annual silent auction, which normally takes place at the winter board meeting.

The scholarship fund provides $1,000 or $2,000 scholarships to students attending two- or four-year colleges or pursuing propane-related careers at technical, trade or vocational schools. In 2020, the fund provided 102 scholarships totaling $135,000, and the group is hoping to meet the same level of support for education this year.

Scholarship fund leaders are asking the propane industry to consider making a tax-deductible donation in support of Corporate Partners. Contact Maril Olson, manager of the scholarship foundation, at molson@npga.org or 202-355-1328.
