The ARMA Foundation is the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) educational organization that promotes rock mechanics and rock engineering through educational activities and research projects.

Through its affiliation with ARMA, foundation projects can draw on the breadth and diversity of the ARMA membership, related societies, and international experience.

The ARMA Foundation shares a board of directors with ARMA. It currently is involved in organizing the next Rock Mechanics Symposium to be held in Boston at MIT in 2003.
