To support the prevention and resolution of conflicts by expanding access to alternative dispute resolution.
In 2015, the American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution Foundation® (AAA-ICDR Foundation®) was established by the American Arbitration Association® to fund projects that promote conflict resolution and prevention in communities across the country and around the world. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with primary funding from the AAA® and its Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators. Its mission aligns with the American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (AAA-ICDR®) which, for a century, has dedicated itself to promoting and improving approaches to alternative dispute resolution.
The AAA-ICDR Foundation would not exist without the generous support of the American Arbitration Association and members of its Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators, which together have provided over $15 million in monetary and in-kind contributions.
