Celebrating 10 Years of the Asphalt Institute Foundation

In 2024, the Asphalt Institute Foundation (AIF) celebrated its 10^th year as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since being organized in 2014, AIF has focused on expanding its education and research programs to not only advance, but improve the liquid asphalt industry.

AIF Donors gathered on August 7, 2024, at the Asphalt Institute’s Summer Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT, to kick-off the celebration with a “Cheers to 10-Years” reception. The event highlighted our successes and recognized the many corporate and individual donors who have supported the Foundation’s efforts since its formation.
