The MKA Foundation was formally established in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) organization, building upon a legacy of collaboration and in-kind support of leading research for the advancement of structural and civil engineering. As champions for the industry, the MKA Foundation and its Industry Partners seek to advance state-of-the-art innovative designs, and to give back in a targeted way that makes our profession stronger for the long term, while helping to fill the gap in available resources for research funding.
Funded by Magnusson Klemencic Associates and external contributors, the MKA Foundation establishes a platform to promote industry-leading research—research that also remains open-source and non-proprietary.
