The CHIME Education Foundation

In 2007, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) created the CHIME Education Foundation as a charitable organization to support the educational development of the next generation of healthcare IT leaders. The Education Foundation will be providing scholarships and tuition for attendance at a variety of educational conferences and events, and will support the development and education of current and future CIOs.

"We are proud to announce the formation of this charitable organization," said CHIME President and CEO Rich Correll. "Supporting the development of the CIO profession has always been at the core of CHIME's mission, and the Education Foundation will allow us to expand our reach in this important area."

The Education Foundation funds a variety of scholarship and fellowship programs that give CIOs and their staff members access to executive-level IT education through CHIME events and other relevant educational programs.

The Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization; all donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
