IPA Members Supporting Members
This campaign has been created specifically for members of the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) who would like to support the IPA Group Benevolent Fund.
As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts, we're encouraging IPA members to help fellow members facing unexpected financial hardship.
The Fund is an independent registered charity supporting eligible members of both the IFA and the IPA when unforeseen circumstances leave them struggling financially.
This dedicated campaign allows us to recognise the generosity of the IPA community and track donations made through this appeal.
Contributions made through our main JustGiving charity page also continue to support the Fund's work. Whether you give $5, $10, $20 or more, every donation helps us continue to provide assistance when it's needed most.
Real Members. Real Challenges.
Behind every application is a real person facing circumstances they never expected. Over the years, the Benevolent Fund has supported members through difficult times, helping them regain some financial stability when they needed it most. Here are some of their experiences, shared in their own words.
"I am a single parent with a daughter needing long-term medical support. After reducing my work hours due to hospital visits, I struggled to make ends meet. The Benevolent Fund provided essential assistance, for which I am very grateful. Thank you for your support!"
"After becoming homeless with my children last November, the IFA Benevolent Fund provided crucial support. I'm now in a home, starting anew, and I deeply appreciate your kindness and help. Thank you for making a difference in our lives."
"I am deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown by the IPA community. Thank you for your patience and for listening to my situation with care. I also appreciate the IPA Benevolent Fund Trustees, the IPA Melbourne office, and everyone involved in my application."
"After being hit by a vehicle in a new country and facing serious injuries without insurance, I found myself in a desperate situation. I discovered help through the IFA magazine and applied for assistance. Thanks to this support, my life has changed - my children and I now have a home, and we're building a new life together. I'm deeply grateful for your kindness.
"Receiving this funding has meant the world to me because it financed my EMDR therapy. I have seen an increase in my mood and a decrease in anxiety. This means that I can become a better father and a better professional. I am truly grateful to the IPA/IFA for the assistance."
Your Support Makes a Difference
Financial hardship can affect anyone, regardless of their profession or circumstances. A sudden illness, redundancy, or unexpected personal crisis can quickly turn someone's life upside down. By supporting this campaign, you're helping ensure that fellow members have somewhere to turn during those difficult moments.
As you renew your IPA membership, please consider making a donation to the Benevolent Fund. Together, we can make a real difference to members who need our support.
This campaign is specifically for IPA donors, but the money raised supports the broader Benevolent Fund, and the campaign total doesn't represent all the funds the charity has raised.
The IPA Group Benevolent Fund is the working name of The IFA/IPA Group Benevolent Fund, Registered Charity No. 1202088.
