The mission of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association Education Foundation is to be the premier influencer of education programs to attract and develop Illinois’ future manufacturing workforce. We do this by providing both financial support to school districts, community colleges, vocational schools and Illinois’ four-year institutions and by encouraging member companies of the IMA to provide internships at their manufacturing facilities for students and opportunities for educators to observe and discuss the needs of manufacturers in their area.
The IMA Education Foundation is funded through grants that are matched by the generous contributions of manufacturing companies from all corners of Illinois. Your tax deductible contribution will help assure the Foundation meets its Mission.
