During the early 2000s, the Foundation Board established that the foundation's endeavors would be governed by four core principles: Supporting & Sustaining the IMTA/IMCF Headquarters, Public Awareness & Outreach, Workforces Development, and Sustainable Funding.
The IMTA/IMCF headquarters is strategically located at the foot of the Iowa State Capitol. As part of the prestigious Capitol Complex, this building is a visible and poignant symbol of the trucking industry’s stature in the State of Iowa. Ensuring that our headquarters is always a first class statement for the industry is a top priority.
Telling the story of Iowa’s trucking industry and educating the public on the value of trucking is at the core of this important pillar, serving as a beacon for fostering understanding and appreciation. Through the lens of this pillar, we've not only highlighted the vital role of trucking but also highlighted the dedicated individuals behind the wheel.
Pillar III's mission is to reshape the future of Iowa's trucking sector by investing in initiatives that highlight the myriad job prospects available within the industry.
Ensuring that the Foundation will have an ongoing source of funding through innovative, effective, and long-term financial partnerships and investments by the members.
The Iowa Motor Carriers Foundation (IMCF) has a rich and impactful history dating back several decades. Established as a non-profit organization in the state of Iowa, the foundation has been a steadfast supporter of the trucking industry since its inception. Over the years, it has played a vital role in promoting safety, education, and advocacy within the Iowa trucking community.
