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.

Donations to the MSPE Educational Foundation are welcome from members, their families or friends, supporters of the foundation, firms with an interest in the engineering profession and corporate foundations and trusts. You may earmark your contribution to be applied directly to our MATHCOUNTS or 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 from taxation under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and contributions to it are deductible under Section 170 of the code.
