​The SHRM Foundation's work includes:

The SHRM Foundation is grateful for the generous support of its major donors, the HR Certification Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

To fund its programs, the SHRM Foundation conducts an annual fundraising campaign.  The Foundation recognizes the generous support of the SHRM chapters and state councils, individuals, corporations and others who make its work possible.

Your financial support is vital to ensure that the SHRM Foundation can continue this important work.
