About AATCC Foundation

The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Council initiated steps to establish AATCC Foundation, Inc. during Association meetings on May 8, 1997. The Foundation, with its own board of directors, operates independently and in the furtherance of the charitable mission of the Association. The members of the board of directors represent a broad cross-section of textile, retail, chemical industry experts, and other senior business leaders with interests in many different aspects of textile design, materials, processing, and testing.

The Foundation operates from The AATCC Technical Center located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. Because the influence and activities of the Association extend far beyond the borders of North America, the Foundation solicits funds worldwide.
