About Pvf Roundtable Charitable Foundation
Pvf Roundtable Charitable Foundation Inc centers its giving on scholarships and endowment-building for students entering the pipe, valves and fittings industry, with a stated goal of reaching $3 million in scholarship endowments by 2026. The foundation’s recent grants show a steady pattern of support for colleges, trade schools, and workforce training programs tied to engineering, instrumentation, welding, and pipefitting. In 2024, it awarded $70,000 to San Jacinto Community College Foundation in Pasadena, Texas, and $65,000 to Houston Community College in Houston, reflecting its focus on Texas-based technical education. The same pattern appears across Louisiana and Texas recipients, including Associated Builders & Contractors Inc in Baton Rouge and Lee College Foundation Inc in Baytown. Across the grants list, the foundation uses scholarship funding to support education and workforce development tied directly to PVF careers rather than broad general operating support.
What Pvf Roundtable Charitable Foundation Funds
The foundation’s work is organized around technical career pathways in the PVF sector. In engineering education, it gave $65,000 to Lamar Institute of Technology in Beaumont, Texas, and another $50,000 in 2025 to the same institution. For instrumentation, welding, and pipefitting training, its annual scholarship program supports seven colleges and trade schools across Texas and Louisiana. It also backs workforce development partners such as Associated Builders & Contractors Inc in Baton Rouge, which received $65,000 in 2024 and $59,000 in 2023. Community college partners appear repeatedly in the record, including Del Mar College Foundation Inc in Corpus Christi, which received $50,000 in 2025 after a $25,000 grant in 2024.
How Pvf Roundtable Charitable Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25, median, and p75 are all $65,000. The recent record also shows a smaller set of $50,000 grants and one $25,000 grant, alongside a $70,000 award. Recipients appear across multiple years, indicating recurring support rather than one-off awards. The foundation funds scholarship and education work through a charitable foundation structure and does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. Its active scholarship program is annual and unsolicited applications are not accepted.
