How Does the IIMC Foundation Benefit Clerks?

The Municipal Clerk – oldest public servant role in North America. Clerks are the keepers of democratic municipal government. They ensure due process, playing by the rules, and guarantee proper access of citizens to their local government. They ensure all municipal actions are within regulations and are fair.

The IIMC Foundation is the fund raising arm of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC), and enhances professionalism in local government through education. Your gift allows us to fund education, training and research programs for the continued education of Municipal Clerks. 

The Foundation was created to do one thing - Raise money to support the educational programs of IIMC. Since 1984 that is exactly what we have done – we have awarded and/or contributed over a million dollars towards Municipal Clerk’s Scholarships and IIMC Education Programs.

IIMC Foundation funds are supporting hundreds of Clerks each year through scholarships and educational activities at the Annual Conference and more.

It’s difficult to calculate the number of members touched by the Foundation. If you have ever received a scholarship, attended the Education Colloquium, attended educational sessions at an IIMC Conference, reached out to the IIMC Education staff, or attended your local Association or Region education program supported by a grant, you have been touched by the Foundation’s dollars.  However, the opportunity remains for the Foundation to touch each and every member, each and every year.
