The first phase of the PTDA Foundation’s fund drive has raised $148K

With $148,000 raised in the beginning of its 2025 Fund Drive, the PTDA Foundation is making a strong impact to help power transmission and motion control (PT/MC) employees enhance recruitment and retention through the Building Awareness Campaign, student and employee scholarships and other resources. 

Matthew Pavlinsky“Our work is vital to global manufacturing, and the talent we attract drives its growth and success,” says Matt Pavlinsky, 2025 PTDA Foundation President, Applied Industrial Technologies. “Like many industries, our employers face challenges in attracting and holding onto top talent. As the Foundation continues its scholarship programs and Building Awareness campaign to promote the various, rewarding careers in the PT/MC industry, we’re grateful to those who have shown their commitment by pledging to the 2025 Fund Drive.”

Thank you to these 2025 PTDA Foundation Vanguard Contributors who led our fundraising efforts with an early commitment between October and December 2024.
