EIA Foundation
The EIA Foundation
The EIA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit dedicated to advancing education and community service in the environmental health and safety field. Built on the success of the EIA Scholarship Fund established in 2012, the Foundation supports EIA Members and their immediate families, provides conference travel opportunities for government regulators, and funds community service initiatives such as EIA Cares, a COVID-19 supply relief program for nonprofit health facilities.
As industry support for these efforts has grown, the EIA Foundation has expanded its role in strengthening education, professional development, and public health within the environmental health and safety community. All contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible and directly support these mission-driven programs.

"As a recipient of the Environmental Information Association Foundation Scholarship last year, I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude. For the last one year, the scholarship has played a pivotal role in my academic, research, and professional journey. It has provided not just financial support, but also the encouragement to pursue meaningful work that contributes to environmental sustainability. Coming from an underdeveloped community, this support has been life-changing—it has helped me bridge gaps that would have otherwise limited my ability to contribute to the field." - Etinosa Igunbor, 2024
