Established in 2005 by the Paoli Business and Professional Association, our mission is to create a lasting legacy for the Greater Paoli community. We firmly believe that investing in our community and empowering our children is one of the best ways to navigate the challenges of today’s world.

Our scholarship fund derives its name from a time when front porches were the hub of conversations, neighborly connections, and active community engagement. We aim to inspire young individuals to embrace this spirit of community involvement and realize their potential to make a positive impact locally and globally.

The Front Porch Trust Scholarship Fund focuses on supporting students from Conestoga High School in Berwyn, PA, and Great Valley High School in Malvern, PA. We reward those who are committed to post-secondary education and have demonstrated outstanding dedication through their volunteer work, school participation, and civic engagement.

Since our inception, we have proudly awarded approximately $50,000 to deserving students during the first decade of our existence.
