2024 Chapter Foundation Challenge Results

/

It’s been 11 years since the ACFE began challenging our chapters to donate to the ACFE Foundation in the annual Chapter Foundation Challenge. ACFE chapters continue to amaze me, all of us at the ACFE, and the Foundation Board of Directors for their continued generosity and support. In 2024, ACFE chapters donated $124,050 to the Foundation! Thank you to all who supported last year’s campaign.

Since 2014, chapters donated $833,657 to the Foundation. Additionally, chapters have contributed over half a million dollars in the last four years alone! The ACFE and the ACFE Foundation thank the chapter leaders and members who support this important cause that provides valuable educational opportunities for students and researchers interested in fraud examination.

Additional Recognition
The Las Vegas Chapter organized a Charity Poker Tournament during the 35th Annual ACFE Global Fraud Conference with proceeds benefitting the ACFE Foundation. The tournament raised an additional $6,500 for the Foundation!

In 2019, the ACFE Foundation expanded its scope by merging with the ACFE Research Institute (ARI). The ARI works with academics and practitioners to support research studies on the prevention of fraud and corruption. It provides both funding and data to aid research studies that benefit Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) and the anti-fraud profession.
