Expand knowledge of the built environment in a changing world through scholarships, education and research.

Promote and support scholarships, educational and research opportunities for the advancement of facility management worldwide.

To provide greater resources and educational opportunities to facility management professionals and those that support the FM industry.

Established in 1990 as a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation, the IFMA Foundation is supported by the generosity of a community of individuals—IFMA Members, chapters, councils, corporate sponsors and private contributors—and is proud to be an instrument of information and opportunities for the profession and its representatives.

A separate entity from IFMA, the IFMA Foundation receives no funding from annual membership dues to carry out its mission. Supported by the generosity of the FM community, IFMA Foundation provides education, research and scholarships for the benefit of FM professionals and students. Foundation contributors share the belief that education and research improve the FM profession.

Providing scholarships enhances the IFMA Foundation’s mission to identify, fund and promote education and research for the advancement of facility management. The future of the profession is heavily dependent upon those preparing to enter the field of facility management, and supporting deserving students helps to ensure the quality of built environment in a changing world.

Made possible by donations from endowments and individual contributions funded by individuals, corporations, IFMA chapters and IFMA councils, scholarships are available annually to graduate and undergraduate students pursuing degrees in facility management or related fields. In addition to the scholarship, sponsors provide recipients the means to attend World Workplace where they can take advantage of the opportunity to network with others in the FM community.
