- Encourage members to join Team Empower, a special club for individuals who donate $30 or more and pledge to support the SHRM Foundation's annual inclusion initiative
- Host a fundraising event to benefit the SHRM Foundation
To become a Foundation Champion, complete each of the three steps and include further information in your SHAPE workbook (section 2, #6 for state councils and section 2, #5 for chapters).
Qualifying chapters and councils are recognized on the SHRM Foundation website and receive a digital badge to display on their chapter or council website.
