AIM Foundation
The AIM Foundation was established in 1991 as a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to advancing sound public policy, economic opportunity and inclusion, and long-term competitiveness in Massachusetts. For more than three decades, the Foundation has commissioned and supported research on issues critical to the Commonwealth’s economic future, including energy policy, workers’ compensation, health care reform, tax credits, innovation investment, and infrastructure.
In recent years, the AIM Foundation has renewed and expanded its mission with a heightened focus on economic inclusion. This includes the launch of AIM Small Business Support, a supplier diversity initiative designed to strengthen inclusive procurement practices and expand market access for minority- and women-owned businesses.
