Through various fundraising initiatives and grant-giving processes, the Education Foundation reaches into the meetings and conventions community at numerous levels to give back to its members and the industry.

PCMA Education Foundation Fundraisers

Dinner Celebrating Professional Achievement

The PCMA Education Foundation Dinner Celebrating Professional Achievement is an annual black-tie event held in Washington, D.C. Dollars raised from the dinner help the Education Foundation continue to be the industry's leading philanthropic and charitable organization as well as the catalyst for uniting people, organizations and corporations to make a difference through education, research, and community outreach.

Silent Auction

Held in conjunction with the Foundation Dinner, the Silent Auction helps raise money for ongoing Foundation activities while letting attendees engage in some fun, competitive bidding for great items.

The PCMA Education Foundation Partnership Summit

The Partnership Summit allows nearly 200 meeting planners an opportunity to network and forge lasting relationships through fun events and educational sessions.

Party With a Purpose

Have a blast while giving back! This "can't miss" networking event held each year during the PCMA Annual Meeting, has raised more than $1,000,000 in charitable donations.
