DONATE TO THE FOUNDATION

The SMPS Foundation delivers research and marketing intelligence to inspire success and improve bottom-line results.

The SMPS Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization established by SMPS in 1992 to develop a greater understanding of and then impact the role and value of marketing and business development. The SMPS Foundation is funded by donations from SMPS members, their firms, and others interested in our work.

Invest in the SMPS Foundation.

Donate to your foundation because relevant research and expanding diversity in the A/E/C industries is good for the built environment.

We are grateful for our donors, and with your contribution we will continue to influence our profession with important research and advocacy. To continue our future work, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation* to the SMPS Foundation. Your support will directly contribute to the development of future initiatives that support our industry and professionals like you.
