ICMA Fund for Professional Management

Since 1985, the ICMA Fund for Professional Management has supported and promoted the council-manager form and professional local government management thanks to the generous contributions of ICMA members, state associations, and other local government stakeholders.


About the Fund

ICMA’s Fund for Professional Management (formerly the Endowment Fund) was established in 1985, to advocate and promote the council-manager form and professional local government management. The Fund is sustained through contributions from individual members, state associations and organizations. Fundraised dollars are used to support civic education, council-manager adoption and retention campaigns.
