Grocers Education Foundation Awards 92 Scholarships The Iowa Grocery Industry Association raised more than $102,000 in 2016 to fund scholarships through the Iowa Grocers Education Foundation. These fundraising efforts fortify the foundation’s finances so that it can continue to provide scholarships to deserving youth with connections to the grocery industry. The foundation received 401 applications for the 92 scholarships that were awarded for the 2016-17 school year. Scholarships, totaling $148,600 were awarded to students who are at least part-time employees of an IGIA member company or the children of full-time employees working for an IGIA member.

Two primary fundraisers that make the IGEF Scholarships possible are the IGEF Scholarship Golf Classic, which brought in $67,784 this year, while another $35,000 was presented to the IGEF through the IGIA Convention Auction for a total of $102,784.

Mueller Yurgae Associates also made a significant contribution to this year’s fundraising efforts, providing a $2,000 sponsorship and raising $1,600 for the IGEF Endowment Fund through the IGIA Early Bird Golf Tournament at the IGIA Get Connected Convention.

IGEF Provides Member-Funded “Piggyback” Scholarships The IGEF “Piggyback” Scholarship program allows IGIA members to award scholarships to their employees and children of employees without the expense of administering a scholarship program. Participating in the “Piggyback” scholarship program has many potential benefits. A company or individual can honor a relative, founder or former leader by designating a scholarship in that person’s name. Offering a scholarship could have potential tax benefits (be sure to consult with your tax professional). Assisting young people to obtain a college education enhances a company’s image. The option to provide “Piggyback” scholarships is just one among many benefits afforded through IGIA membership.

For more information on the “Piggyback” scholarship program or the IGEF, contact Michelle Hurd at 800-383-3663 or [email protected].
