About the Foundation

With generous contributions from donors nationwide, the AIChE Foundation helps to advance the Institute's mission to promote excellence in chemical engineering education and global practice. Funds raised by the AIChE Foundation support initiatives to advance chemical engineering research, education and practice. Ongoing programs administered by the AIChE Foundation include scholarships and support of activities for students, young professionals, women and minority chemical engineers.

The AIChE Foundation is not a separately incorporated entity but is a business activity of AIChE.
