Brief History
In 2002, the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Automotive Association had a vision to create a charitable foundation that would serve the philanthropic needs of its members. Through this vision emerged the PAA Foundation.
The Foundation’s primary purpose is to support the charitable activities of Pennsylvania’s dealers and help them manage and achieve their philanthropic goals.
A Charitable Trust Foundation, PAAF enables you, your family, or your business to create a lasting legacy to address the causes and organizations you care about most.
Through the PAAF, PAA is able to promote and enhance the role of Pennsylvania's new car and truck dealers as supporters of their communities and many charitable causes. It also funds education and training for students to develop the skills necessary to work in the new retail motor vehicle industry in Pennsylvania.
The PAAF publishes newsletters and annual reports which highlight the achievements of the dealership community. We request that stories about the good works of dealers be forwarded to the PAAF so they may be included in the publication. If you have a story you would like to share, please e-mail Melanie Bible at MBible@paa.org.
