About IPO Education Foundation
Incorporated in 2000, Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation (IPOEF) is a non-profit organization devoted to education and charitable activities designed to teach about the value of intellectual property and encourage innovation.
In 2020, IPOEF decided to pivot on its mission to create programming that benefits underserved, diverse populations. Programs will address the challenges unique to those communities and provide them with information and access to resources that will enable them to innovate and acquire IP to protect their ideas, thereby creating economic prosperity.
