About the Foundation
In 1996 the Association of State Floodplain Managers established the ASFPM Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. The ASFPM Foundation is governed by its Board of Trustees. The foundation’s Strategic Plan sets the future direction of the ASFPM Foundation.
The ASFPM Foundation serves as an advocate for the profession and as a voice for you, the practitioner, supplier or service provider, through its support of the ASFPM. The ASFPM Foundation has a growing list of accomplishments thanks to the financial support of all donors.
The ASFPM Foundation seeks and directs funds to help the ASFPM meet its goals and to support floodplain management activities that originate outside of ASFPM. While the organizations are mutually supportive, the foundation is a separate corporate body.
Foundation donations have supported the development of the Certified Floodplain Manager program; No Adverse Impact publications; a college course in floodplain management; specialty conferences including the Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum; and scholarships including the Future Leaders Scholarship.
