The NBTA Foundation, formerly the Institute of Business Travel Management-IBTM, is funded through two revenue streams: capital gifts and proceeds generated from special events.
The original capital effort to create the Foundation was known as the Foundation for the Future project. From this original campaign, nearly $4.5 million was raised from corporate supporters. The NBTA Foundation remains extremely grateful to the Foundation for the Future donors for their vision and dedication to advancing the corporate travel industry.
In March 2003, the Foundation Board of Trustees launched a new capital campaign to renew at least $4 million in capital support to maintain its mission through 2008. This new effort—Business Travel Today & Tomorrow has raised more than $5 million to date for the NBTA Foundation to continue its education and research efforts on behalf of the business travel industry. The Foundaiton is very grateful to the Business Travel Today & Tomorrow donors for their commitment to the NBTA Foundation and our industry.
