Join the 2025 Chapter Foundation Fundraising Challenge

/

The ACFE Foundation’s mission is to advance anti-fraud knowledge and empower the next generation of professionals. Through scholarships, research, and educational initiatives, we’re building a stronger global community dedicated to fighting fraud.

Why Your Chapter’s Support Matters

Scholarships
The Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program has awarded more than $1 million to deserving students worldwide. Each year, $85,000 in scholarships helps future anti-fraud leaders pursue their education.

Research
The ACFE Research Institute funds projects that drive innovation in fraud prevention and corruption deterrence, providing resources that benefit CFEs and the broader community.

Chapter donations play a major role in making this impact possible. Since 2014, chapters have contributed more than $850,000—and nearly $125,000 last year alone.
