Legal Documents

While an independent, stand-alone entity, the PEF also has an obvious connection with the PAA.  The PAA was instrumental in the Fund’s creation, initiated its early funding efforts, and is the source of the PEF’s board members.  Additionally, the bylaws of the PEF are found within the general bylaws of the PAA.  The PEF’s fundraising efforts are facilitated by the fact that the IRS has determined it to be a 501(c)(3) organization.
