2021 Chapter Foundation Challenge

/

Since 2014, ACFE has challenged our ACFE chapters to donate to the ACFE Foundation. Since then, chapters have donated nearly $400,000! So far in 2021, we have received $52,005 from thirteen ACFE chapters. Several other chapters have notified me that their donation is already on the way.

Despite the pandemic, we have a great opportunity for this year’s challenge to be the best we’ve had. We have received quite a few large donations so far this year. However, your donation doesn’t need to be a large amount to make a difference. A donation of at least $500 goes a long way to support the mission of the Foundation and your chapter will benefit by receiving some merchandise and books you can share with your members.

How does the challenge work?

The ACFE challenges your chapter to donate to the ACFE Foundation, which offers scholarships to future anti-fraud professionals. It also supports cutting-edge studies that advance your profession’s collective body of knowledge. It provides anti-fraud professionals with new tools and information to prevent, detect and deter fraud.

As a token of gratitude for donating, your chapter can receive merchandise and books, copies of the CFE Exam Prep Course®, and even conference registrations – depending on your donation amount.

So far, we have received donations from the following chapters:

  • Central Ohio - $10,000

  • Dallas Area - $10,000

  • South Florida - $10,000

  • Alabama Area - $5,000
