4. IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) Initiative/Campaign “20 for 20” 

 
In 2014, IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) marks its 20th anniversary as a foundation in the present 
form. This occasion is a reminder of the importance to continue supporting ICF by donating online or 
donating by mail. 
 
Your support of the ICF $20 for 20th anniversary recognition will help expand the ICF General Fund 
lead programs across Canada: 
  • Scholarships for outstanding undergraduate IEEE engagement,
  • McNaughton Learning Resource Centre Grants for enhancing the learning experiences of students at Canadian universities and colleges, 
  • Special Grants for new and innovative projects that advance IEEE's core purpose to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. 
For first time contributors, please review the success stories and ICF track record on the ICF website. 
For recurring contributors, please consider this $20 incremental to your regular donation – special for 
the ICF 20th anniversary recognition. 
 
 A brief history of IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) 
 
After Revenue Canada granted ICF charitable foundation status, ICF started operating under its new 
status in January 1994. Prior to that, the ICF existed in other forms. More about the ICF history can be 
found at http://ieeecanadianfoundation.org/EN/history/history.php. Since many small charities succeed 
in operating for only a few years, the ICF 20th anniversary, and still going stronger, is a remarkable 
achievement of the Foundation. It was made thanks to the continual support of many ICF 
donors/contributors over the past two decades and a large number of ICF volunteers and IEEE Canada 
members. This sustained success in providing benefits to IEEE Canada students, recognition and 
awards to IEEE Canada members, and to the engineering community in Canada is a cause worth 
celebrating.
