Pascal Society

The Pascal Society is the annual giving society of the NFPA Education and Technology Foundation

The Pascal Society is the annual giving society of the NFPA Education and Technology Foundation, dedicated to meeting the technology and workforce development needs of the U.S. fluid power industry.

Named after Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician, physicist and inventor whose famous law describes fluid power’s force multiplier effect, the Pascal Society seeks to create a similar multiplier effect for the fluid power industry. By combining the financial and volunteer contributions of many individuals into one concerted effort, the Society will develop the resources, tools and people needed to tackle this difficult challenge.

For information on how to join The Pascal Society, contact Sue Chase at (414) 778-3376 or schase@nfpa.com.

Membership Levels

Membership levels in The Pascal Society are based on the size of companies, as measured by their annual global fluid power sales.

    Membership and Annual Giving Levels
Company size Annual global fluid power sales Gold Silver Bronze
Large Above $250 million $100,000 or more At least $60,000 At least $6,000
Medium Between $50 and $250 million $50,000 or more At least $30,000 At least $3,000
Small Below $50 million $25,000 or more At least $15,000 At least $1,500

  • “Fluid power sales” are measured differently for different kinds of companies:
  • For fluid power component/system manufacturers and distributors, it includes all of their sales.
  • For OEMs, it includes the value of fluid power content in their machines, both purchased and manufactured.
  • For suppliers, it includes all of their sales to the fluid power industry.

These are charitable contributions, fully tax-deductible under the NFPA Foundation’s 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization.
