CMAA Foundation

Mission: "To provide opportunities and support through education and research endeavors to advance knowledge in the management of the construction process."

Vision: "The CMAA Foundation will be the premier foundation supporting education and research in the management of the construction process."

Did you know? As little as $50 from each member ($10/year for five years) would enable the CMAA Foundation to reach its Capital Campaign goal and become even stronger.

Raise money and have fun!

The CMAA Foundation hosts fundraising programs throughout the year, focusing on two major opportunities: one at the Forum in the spring and the other at the National Conference & Trade Show in the fall.

Funds raised at these events help the Foundation provide scholarship opportunities to deserving students and also help the Foundation in efforts to bring young people into the CM industry.
