In the Spring of 1984, a small group of City Clerks determined to form a Foundation to fund scholarships for municipal clerk education - a mission that would carry on for over 40 years. Lyall Schwarzkopf, former City Clerk of Minneapolis, MN, served as IIMC President from 1983-84 and created the IIMC Foundation with that small group of colleagues.

Sadly, on January 30, 2025, Lyall passed away. Lyall's family shared his request that memorial donations in his honor be given to the IIMC Foundation to grow the scholarship program that was so very important to him.

The IIMC Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit foundation under Section 501 (C)(3) created to raise funds for its partner, the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. IIMC uses these funds to promote, train and educate Municipal Clerks, making them proficient in the services they provide for the citizens of their community.
