Inspiring Life-Changing Careers in the Attractions Industry
The IAAPA Foundation supports careers in the attractions industry through academic, experiential, and industry scholarships. It also creates programs to raise awareness of the diverse and rewarding career opportunities in the field.
As a U.S. 501(C)(3) tax-exempt charity, the foundation is separate from IAAPA, a 501(C)(6) trade association. The IAAPA Global Board approves the Foundation Board members, and IAAPA will match scholarship donations dollar for dollar through 2026. IAAPA also provides executive and administrative support. Donations to the IAAPA Foundation may be tax-deductible in the United States; consult your tax advisor. The foundation board oversees the foundation’s work, which is managed by the foundation team.
