About the Foundation

The PMT Foundation was created in 2006 by the PMT Board of Directors as a charitable foundation. The Foundation furthers education in communities served by Project Mutual Telephone through its scholarship program, and it supports projects and programs that sustain and improve those communities.

To date, the Foundation has helped over 61 area students with funding to further their education beyond high school by continuing the scholarship tradition that PMT established in 1990. The Foundation has contributed over $250,000 in grant award to community organizations that help sustain and improve our local community through various projects.


Scholarship Program

The PMT Scholarship program was established over 30 years ago and has helped many area students further their education beyond high school. Scholarship applications are now open until March 31, 2024.
