About us

The Foundation was formed in 2006 by the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, which is a 61-year-old organization. Although the Foundation has been a functioning entity for only a short period of time, it has developed extensive plans to accomplish its mission.

The scholarship program has grown, the availability of educational web-based videos has been expanded, and additional videos targeting the industry's consumer will be developed as funding becomes available.
