ASME Foundation

Through education that inspires, helping young people pursue careers that matter, to nurturing ideas that innovate, the ASME Foundation opens the world of engineering to diverse young people who will transform the world. We are helping to build a more equitable and sustainable future.

ASME

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe via continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publication, government relations, and more.

Sustainability for the World

We believe the future depends on sustainability. Climate change and sustainable development are the paramount challenges of our time. Through our philanthropic programs that address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the ASME Foundation is working to mobilize a global ecosystem of engineers to innovate a sustainable world. 

Equity in Engineering

We believe diversity drives innovation. Building a sustainable world demands that we harness the talent and creativity of the full spectrum of humanity. Only a diverse, equitable, and inclusive engineering profession can meet the sustainability challenge, so the ASME Foundation is working to double the number of women and other underrepresented minorities in engineering by 2030. 

Thank You!

Your support of the ASME Foundation helps build a better future for all of us. Together, we are empowering the innovative problem-solvers of tomorrow.
