50th Anniversary Capital Campaign

Show your support for the FICPA Educational Foundation. The 50th anniversary capital campaign provides the opportunity for FICPA members to join an elite group of individuals dedicated to protecting the future of our profession.

The impetus for the 50th anniversary capital campaign is a $1 million grant from the Florida-based Wallace H. Coulter foundation in honor of CPA James Wilcox, who died in April 2008. Past FICPA President, Ben A. "Steve" Stevens III, stressed "The grant will be used to help create a plentiful and qualified supply of future CPAs."
