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.
Top fundraising chapters are recognized on the SHRM Foundation’s website and in the monthly newsletter, are awarded a digital badge to display on the chapter website, and receive an award from the SHRM Foundation at the SHRM Annual Conference and Exposition.

*On Wednesday, February 3rd, we announced via Facebook Live and during the RCBM/SHRM Foundation update, our 2020 Chapter/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 for 2020. While we could chalk this up to “typical 2020” we want to offer our sincerest apologies because an error was discovered in the calculations. SHRM Jacksonville will now be shown as tied with #15 SHRM Hawaii. We will leave blank the #22 ranking SHRM Jacksonville previously occupied. 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.
