A community that gives back.
Members of the International Compliance Professionals Association (ICPA) have given more than $382,000 since 2004: disaster relief, veterans’ services, children’s causes, and scholarships for students entering trade compliance. Every entry on this page was funded by the membership.
- $382K+ given since 2004
- $250K+ to ICPA scholarships
- 15 causes funded
Every cause, year by year.
This is the complete record of member giving: who received it, when, and how much. Most of it was raised in the room at ICPA conferences, a raffle ticket and an auction paddle at a time.

The giving comes from members. So does everything else.
Every dollar on this page was raised by people who came for the education and stayed for the community. Membership is how you get in the room, and a new individual member at an importer or exporter joins free for the first year.
