AAMA Research & Educational Foundation

The American Academy of Medical Administrators Research & Educational Foundation (AAMA Foundation) was founded in 1976 to:

  • Conduct, sponsor, or promote courses of instruction for individuals to develop or improve their capabilities in the field of healthcare operations and administration, and
  • Conduct and encourage research in the art and science of healthcare operations and administration for the benefit of the public

The AAMA Foundation Board of Directors serves as the governing body of the organization. Each member of the Foundation’s Board is a member of the AAMA Board of Directors.

The Foundation is incorporated as a Not For Profit Corporation in the State of Illinois and is exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. Contributions to the AAMA Foundation are considered charitable contributions under IRC section 170 and tax deductible as provided by law.

Funding and Donations

The Foundation has been funded over the years by donations, large and small, by individual members of AAMA, by charitable foundations, and by our corporate partners.
