Every dollar raised contributes to the Foundation’s work in mobilizing and equipping HR professionals to lead positive social change. Whether it’s supporting certification and academic goals or driving workplace innovation, your contribution makes a meaningful impact.

We’ve made it easy to give back through our GiveSmart platform, where members and supporters can make direct contributions to the SHRM Foundation at any time.
