Endowments

Want to leave a lasting legacy that will positively impact the future of the foodservice industry? Consider donating to the WRA Education Foundation Endowment Fund. Individuals, companies and organizations which desire to establish a permanent scholarship in their name or that of a special person are encouraged to utilize the WRA Education Foundation Endowment Fund.

Creating an Endowed Fund

When you establish an endowment fund, you’re creating a legacy by awarding an ongoing scholarship in your name to a deserving student. Plus, you’ll receive a tax deduction since all donations to the Education Foundation are a charitable contribution.

The below chart indicates the scholarship amount your investment generates.
