The MRCA Foundation Begins its 2017-2018 MRCA Foundation Pledge Campaign

The goal is for the the MRCA Foundation to raise $600,000.00 by 2019 in order to significantly impact research, scholarships and education.

Managed by a full Board of Directors, the MRCA Foundation, Inc., was founded with an initial grant from MRCA and operates solely on voluntary contributions. Without ongoing funding, the Foundation has limited resources to support its mission.

Funds raised will support:

• Roofing industry research
• Industry-related academic scholarships for MRCA Members and their families
• Educational programming directed towards MRCA Members

This campaign facilitates and simplifies your support of the Foundation.  You can now take advantage of our ongoing support option that allows you to make monthly pledges in any amount!

Donations can be made via credit card online. Click here to donate or download the MRCA Foundation Campaign Pledge Form.

Donors are acknowledged on the MRCA website, in Midwest Roofer magazine, and in press releases. Memberships at the Platinum or Gold level can be renewed with a percentage of dues donated to the Foundation.

MRCA extends a special thanks to everyone who supported the Foundation Auction at the 2016 Conference in Columbus, Ohio.  The event raised nearly $45,000 for the Foundation and everyone had a wonderful time doing it.

Please make plans to join the Foundation Board for their Sixth Annual Foundation Auction at the Marriott St. Louis Grand on October 17th. The auction will be held during the 68th Annual MRCA Conference Welcome Reception and Industry Night.  All proceeds from the auction will go towards the funding of educational programs, industry research, and academic scholarships.

An online auction booklet will feature all of the available items that have been donated and this year’s auction will also feature online bidding, so even if you can’t be there, you can still participate!  For more information or to donate an item for the auction, please contact Megan Miller at: mmiller@mrca.org or call 800-497-6722.

The Foundation Board graciously thanks all of the donors for their support and generosity.
