Community Service
The Bond Club has funded a 501(c)3 “Bond Club of Philadelphia Scholarship Fund.” Over the years, the Fund has awarded $2,500 to $5,000 to a local college student majoring in Finance or Economics and the opportunity for the recipient to meet with various Bond Club members at their place of work for a “behind the scenes” look at the business.
