Past Campaigns

Opening Doors Campaign

In 2009, the AIChE Foundation launched the Opening Doors Program, a multi-year campaign to involve young chemical engineers in our association by supporting their transition from student life to the professional world. Thanks to the generous support from our donors, with a special thank you to our featured donors, we were able to launch ChEnected in 2010, an interactive website providing young professionals with better access to information, career tools and networking opportunities.

Centennial Celebration Campaign

Over the past 100 years, AIChE and its members have been part of every major development in the modern world, from improving medicines to developing more environmentally friendly fuels and creating new materials that positively touch all aspects of our lives.  Due to the extraordinary generosity of individual and corporate donors, the AIChE Foundation is happy to announce that the Centennial Celebration Campaign successfully met its fundraising goal of $150,000.  This enabled us to initiate many centennial programs and activities. We thank each and every person on our Centennial Celebration Builder’s Wall for their dedication and commitment to AIChE. Read more....
