Sharing Some Great News: The Foundation Is Now an Independent, Tax-Exempt Organization |
|
NIA is proud to announce the approval of the Foundation for Mechanical Insulation Education, Training, and Industry Advancement (Foundation) as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Now, the Foundation is a fully separate organization and will be managed by NIA and overseen by the Foundation’s Board of Directors. This transition will allow the Foundation to pursue grant opportunities and additional funding from groups, organizations, and individuals that may prefer to contribute to a charitable educational organization.
