The CPA Benevolent Fund was incorporated on 14 May 2000.  The aim of the CPA Benevolent Fund is to provide financial assistance to members, students and/or their dependents/families who, through no fault of their own find themselves in financial difficulty and whose circumstances meet the criteria set by the Directors for the payment of grants.

To date the CPA Benevolent Fund has generated its income from commissions received from the MBNA CPA Credit Card and from the Hospital and Medical Care Association (HMCA) royalties. 

The CPA Benevolent Fund has also received a number of voluntary contributions from members at the time of annual subscription renewal and from CPA Regional Societies. 

Potential Beneficiaries are invited to complete a CPA Benevolent Fund Application Form and submit same to the Directors.  This application is then confidentially considered in detail so as to determine the suitability of individual circumstances.
