The
MSPE Educational Foundation Building
On July 13, 1994, Kansas City civic leader
Jerome Cohen and his wife, Jeannette, donated the building
and property at 200 East McCarty Street in Jefferson
City, Missouri to the Missouri Society of Professional
Engineers Educational Foundation, Inc.
 By gutting the facility, the professional design/construction
team of Pellham, Phillips, Hagerman of Springfield,
Missouri and Ludwig Associates of Jefferson City
transformed the building's plain and unassuming
original structure into a design that projects
the technical and professional image of engineering
in a classic way.
The new building houses the state
headquarters of the Missouri Society of Professional
Engineers and the Consulting Engineers Council
of Missouri on its main level. The lower level
provides office space for the Missouri Community
College Association.
The donation of a building is an asset to further
the purpose of the MSPE Educational Foundation,
which was established January 15, 1968 under the
General Not for Profit Corporation Law, Chapter
355 RSMo, as a way for the member engineer or their
family to make
charitable contributions to the profession.
The Foundation
Activities 
- To
provide scholarships at
Missouri engineering schools, approved
by the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET), for worthy and
qualified applicants.
- To promote the study
of engineering through quality programs like
the highly-acclaimed MATHCOUNTS competitive
study and testing program for sixth, seventh
and eighth-graders.
- To develop sound investment
strategies that will enable the building to
become a revenue producing asset that will
encourage and enhance access to excellent engineering
education curriculums and successful engineering
careers
 .
The Building Fund Goal
- To solicit tax-deductible donations which
will be used to retire the mortgage undertaken
for the building renovation and modernization.
- To fund the creation and implementation
of new programs that will make a positive
impact on the future of engineering education
in our state.
- To provide the method and
means to make long term investments in
the engineering profession.
- June 2007 Building Debt $174,000

the MSPE Educational Foundation are welcome
from members, their families or friends, supporters

scholarship programs or you may apply it to
the Building Fund which will ultimately benefit
all facets of the Educational Foundation activities.
MSPE's Educational Foundation is exempt
