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.
Foundation Champions
SHRM Foundation Champions are SHRM chapters and state councils that support the SHRM Foundation by:
- Making an annual donation to the SHRM Foundation directly from chapter/council funds by December 31
- Hosting a fundraising event to benefit the SHRM Foundation
- Encouraging board members and invite all chapter members to join Team Empower by making an
individual annual donation of $30 or more and pledging to support the SHRM Foundation’s annual
initiative
To become a Foundation Champion, complete each of the three steps and include further information in your SHAPE workbook.
To self report on the completion of these activities on behalf of your chapter or state council for 2022, please fill out and
submit this form. For questions please contact Beth Conti at
beth.conti@shrm.org.
Qualifying chapters and councils are recognized on the SHRM Foundation website and receive a digital badge to display on their chapter or council website.
Innovation Grants
SHRM Foundation Innovation Grants support SHRM state councils and chapters working to improve their communities and build inclusive organizations. In June of 2018, the SHRM Foundation awarded grants of up to $10,000 each for programs or services that have practical and measurable effects on veteran employment.
