The ACI Foundation announces that it has secured a commitment of $500,000 annually from the American Concrete Institute to use in awarding additional student fellowships and scholarships, funding more concrete research projects, and supporting new industry technologies.
“The ACI Foundation relies on funding from the American Concrete Institute, ACI members, current partners, and new future partners to maximize industry impact,” stated Ann Daugherty, Director, ACI Foundation. “Through its investment in people, ideas, and research, the ACI Foundation strives to enhance ACI’s vision of effectively meeting the needs of a changing world. This additional funding will allow the ACI Foundation to have a much greater impact.”
