Make an impact for the corrugated packaging industry and pledge your support by becoming an ICPF Corporate Partner.
ICPF is working to strengthen existing programs and services, while also expanding the foundation’s work to address other critical needs. This has included creating a social media presence, building partnerships with the education community, beginning to expand student and faculty knowledge at trade schools and community colleges, and developing marketing/communications tools to promote the many benefits of choosing a career in corrugated packaging. We’re also examining opportunities to collaborate with other organizations and associations, to capitalize on their strengths and resources to ensure we get the most value for our efforts. We’re just getting started and there is a lot more work to do.
The corrugated packaging industry has provided generous support and funding to ICPF over the years. ICPF’s endowment fund is drawn from annually (at a percentage that ensures continual fund growth) to support efforts, but to really make a difference, ICPF needs pledge support from industry companies.
“Please consider giving back to the industry that has given you so much. Support the foundation so we can truly make a difference to increase the labor force of the industry now and into the future.“
Caitlin Salaverria, ICPF President
