OUR MISSION
Established in 1992 by brothers Peter Jr. and Morris Plotkin, the foundation serves as a tribute to their parents, Peter and Masha Plotkin.
Year after year, the funding for arts programming continues to get cut in school and community settings. We recognize that students need a safe way to express themselves, and understand the importance of arts in our communities.
The Peter & Masha Plotkin Memorial Foundation aims to promote the arts by making self-funded donations to middle school, high school, and collegiate art programs, as well as showcase Peter's paintings.
Reason for being: An 501c3, per our bylaws, the specific purpose of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, the support of education in the arts for youth.
Over $1.5 Million donated
