| The
Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award was created
to provide the private sector a means of accomplishing the following Award
objectives: raise sufficient funds to establish an endowment which, when
supplemented by fees from Award applicants, would permanently fund the
Program; oversee the investment of endowment funds; review Program accomplishments;
disburse required funds to the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST); and review the plan and approve associated funds requirements
for subsequent years to ensure a successful Award program.
The Foundation has no oversight of the Baldrige program and has
no involvement in the award process.
Originally, three types of organizations were eligible: manufacturers,
service companies and small businesses. In 1998, the President and the
U.S. Congress approved legislation that made education and health care
organizations eligible to participate in the Award Program in 1999. In
2006 the President and the U.S. Congress approved legislation that made
nonprofit organizations (including charities, trade and professional organizations,
and government agencies) eligible to participate in the Award Program
in 2007. The Award promotes excellence in organizational performance,
recognizes the achievements and results of U.S. organizations, and publicizes
successful performance strategies. The Award is not given for specific
products or services.
Leaders of prominent organizations have been selected to serve as Foundation
Trustees to ensure that the Foundation’s objectives of supporting the
Award process are accomplished. In addition, a broad cross-section of
organizations from throughout the United States provide financial support
to the Foundation.
