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.
