As you may recall, the NJFC Educational Development Fund is an independent 501 3c fund with tax exempt status. Not only can the program award scholarships but house member foundations and endowment programs as well. We encourage members to consider these options to invest in the future of the New Jersey Food Council. If you would like to discuss contributing to the endowment fund by establishing a family or company scholarship, please call the office to discuss the details at (609) 392-8899.
Thanks for helping us spread the word and please call us if you have any comments or questions.
