A Public-Private Partnership
Building active partnerships in the private sector—and
between the private sector and all levels of government—is
fundamental to the success of the Baldrige National Quality
Program in improving national competitiveness. Privatesector
support for the Program in the form of funds,
volunteer efforts, and participation in information transfer
continues to grow.
To ensure the continued growth and success of these
partnerships, each of the following organizations plays an
important role.
Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award
The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality
Award was created to foster the success of the Program.
The Foundation’s main objective is to raise funds to permanently
endow the Award Program.
Prominent leaders from U.S. organizations serve as
Foundation Trustees to ensure that the Foundation’s
objectives are accomplished. A broad cross section of
organizations throughout the United States provides
financial support to the Foundation.
