The Equipment Dealers Foundation and the Canada Equipment Dealers Foundation are committed to shaping the future of our industry. We invite you to join us in building a $1 million endowment fund to secure the talent and skills necessary for long-term success.

Since their inception, the Equipment Dealers Foundation and the Canada Equipment Dealers Foundation have raised over $3 million, including more than $900,000 in matching scholarships and $700,000 for other vital programs. However, with the growing technical demands and the need for continued employee skill development in the equipment dealership sector, this is just the beginning. As an industry, we can—and must—do more.

By contributing, you will help expand our scholarship program, providing critical technical education opportunities to benefit dealers, their employees, and the entire equipment industry. Each year, scholarships are awarded to aspiring individuals across all regions who represent the future of this field. NAEDA also hosts events throughout the year to raise funds for these scholarships. To learn more, contact your regional association office in Canada or the United States.

Your support makes a lasting difference—let’s invest in the future together.

Our foundations accept annual donations in all denominations. These donations will be used as matching funds for scholarships and other programs. By raising funds, we can help members get one step closer to filling dealership vacancies.
