With support from SHRM chapters, state councils, and volunteer leaders, the SHRM Foundation is able to fulfill our mission to champion workforce and workplace transformation. THANK YOU!
To honor chapters, councils, and volunteer leaders who go above-and-beyond, the SHRM Foundation has created the following recognition awards. As a charity, our work is only possible through the generosity of passionate individuals, organizations and SHRM chapters and state councils.
Top 25 Fundraising Chapters
With more than 500 SHRM chapters, the Top 25 Fundraising Chapters represent the top five percent of all SHRM chapters. These chapters have the highest yearly contributions, including gifts from the chapter plus recognition credits donated by individuals or companies on behalf of the chapter.

*On Thursday, February 17th, during the RCBM/SHRM Foundation update we announced, our 2021 Chapter/State Council SHRM Foundation fundraising rankings. Today we are sharing with all of you our Top 10 State Councils and Top 25 Chapters for fundraising support in 2021.
We want to offer our sincerest apologies because since the initial announcement an error was discovered in the calculations. Big Bend SHRM will now be shown as #9 on this prestigious list. Big Bend SHRM is tied with El Paso Society HRM. All other rankings remain intact.
Thank you to every council, chapter, volunteer, and contributor who supported the SHRM Foundation. We could not do what we do without you and we are so grateful for you.
