The ARMA International Educational Foundation (AIEF) is a funding resource for research and scholarship in the field of Records and Information Management. The source of funds is the income earned by an Endowment being raised by concerned individuals and organizations in the profession. Established by ARMA International, the leading professional organization of records and information managers, it is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity.

The ARMA International Educational Foundation is your investment in the future of records and information management.

The Foundation concentrates its funding and promotional activities in four areas:

  1. Encourages every RIM professional and partner to become a financial supporter. 
  2. Supports research to address critical issues in information management. 
  3. Provides grants and scholarships to enhance knowledge, skills and abilities of practitioners in the field. 
  4. Fosters educational initiatives that develop information management skills and programs.

Pilar McAdam, Foundation trustee reported: “Just as an example, I started using Goodsearch.com as my primary web search tool about 18 months ago, and have tried to also use their portal for my internet shopping.  As a result,over the past 18 months, my activities have resulted in about $65.00 being donated to the Foundation, and it didn't cost me a dime.”

“That may not sound like a lot of money, but I think my searching and shopping activity is fairly typical.  If 100 people across the US had done the same things I didover the past 18 months, it would have resulted in $6,500.00 being donated!”

So spread the word and start using Goodsearch.com today!
