SHRM Foundation Completes Successful 2009 Annual Campaign
By Laurie Perry, Development Manager
The SHRM Foundation is very pleased to announce that we reached—and
exceeded—our fundraising goals in our 2009 Annual Campaign. With your
outstanding support, we raised a record-high $745,949 from SHRM chapters,
state councils, corporations and individuals. This money funds educational
resources, reports, scholarships and academic research grants that advance
the knowledge base of the HR profession. In a year that saw the stock
market bouncing up and down, shaky consumer confidence, and flat personal
income, this level of fundraising success is truly a remarkable
accomplishment—thank you!
We are truly grateful for the ongoing financial support we receive from
SHRM chapters and state councils. Your efforts on behalf of the SHRM
Foundation truly make a difference. Chapters and state councils have
maintained their strong levels of support, contributing nearly $462,000
(62% of the Annual Campaign total). More than 180 chapters (about one-third
of all participating SHRM chapters) increased their donations over 2008
levels, including 40 who increased their donations by $500 or more; in
addition, 25 state councils increased their donations!
The Foundation’s “Honor Roll” brochure, which lists all donors and
highlights our programmatic accomplishments, will be released this spring.
