How was the NACE Foundation created and what is its Mission?
Since 1986, the NACE Foundation has existed within NACE International in the form of an Endowment Committee. It was officially formed as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization in 2002 by a group of visionary and dedicated people who have devoted their lives to the corrosion industry. Since that time, we have created many exemplary programs focused on engaging students and educators on corrosion issues. This has been accomplished through the implementation of education programs, academic scholarships and awards, and the creation of business partnerships which allow us to continually grow and make a difference in the lives of students around the world. Our mission is to inspire students and educators to engage in the field of corrosion science and engineering.
