Our Purpose
The Pledge for Excellence is a call to action--a national movement to ensure that every organization, regardless of size, sector, or geography, can access the education, tools, and support necessary to lead with excellence. Anchored in America's Excellence and Quality Framework and delivered through the Institute for Performance Excellence, this initiative drives measurable impact by strengthening America's workforce, reducing unemployment, and fueling long-term economic growth.
We are building a global social innovation platform designed to scale excellence, empower leaders, and create resilient communities. The Pledge for Excellence is more than a funding initiative--it is a catalyst for systemic change.
We are Building a Legacy of Excellence
Help us provide inspiration to the thousands of organizations in manufacturing, health care, education, communities, and government that are using the Baldrige Framework to create jobs and strengthen the economy, increase the quality and access to health care, and improve K-12 and higher education as we navigate these challenging times.
