FAQ’s

Is the selection based on how much our chapter has donated?

• Chapter Champion’s are selected based on multiple factors. Donations are but one criteria. As you can imagine, it is hard for smaller membership chapters to compete with larger member chapters.
• We assess creativity, development/execution of fundraising, relevance to our industry, general communication support of MPIF to chapter members, Chapter executive committee engagement, ongoing financial support, and anything pertinent to storytelling.

What is the value for our Chapter?

• MPIF supports EVERY chapter. Some chapters have benefited substantially through diverse scholarships for members, education at chapter events, and financial aid.
• Chapter Champions receive recognition on their landing page, social media, and award presentation at WEC.
