Foundation Events

FNCE® Foundation Events

By participating in an Academy Foundation event at FNCE®, you help to make a positive impact on thousands of Academy students’ and members’ lives. Remember, the Foundation does not receive any portion of member dues and is funded solely by the generosity of donors.

You can sign up for these Foundation events when registering for FNCE® or, if you’ve already registered for FNCE®, you can add them by logging into your FNCE® registration dashboard and selecting the event(s) you’d like to add.
