Thank you to all of the ICMA members, friends, and state associations that donated to the Fund, helping ICMA to meet its goal to earn $100,000 in 2025!  That total includes significant donations made in conjunction with the ICMA Annual Conference in Tampa/Hillsborough County. Your donations not only support communities seeking to adopt or retain the council-manager form of government, they also help advance professional local government.

If you haven't seen our updated Fund page, take a look. There you can find the updated Wall of Donors, both individual and organizations, our new council-manager video, and updates from the ballot box. ICMA has launched a campaign to celebrate the Fund's 40th anniversary and to share success stories about council-manager government. By growing Fund resources, ICMA can invest in the future of professional management, connect with young professionals, produce new videos, do more storytelling, develop a stronger social media presence, support research to document the value of professional management, and continue its advocacy and defense of professional management and council-manager government.

Your contributions make a difference!  To make a one-time contribution to the Fund or to sign up for recurring donations (monthly, quarterly, or annually) go to icma.org/thefund.
