We would like to thank you for considering a donation to the International Communication Association.
ICA is a not-for-profit that relies primarily on membership and conference fees and publication royalties for its income.
Although ICA has been doing well financially in recent years, the organization needs to look toward its future.
In doing so, ICA hopes to establish the resources necessary to pursue the Association's mission.
Every donation aids ICA in achieving our mission to advance the scholarly study of human communication by encouraging and
facilitating excellence in academic research worldwide. Your contribution is an investment in the future of communication
research and helps build a solid foundation for future scholars. ICA offers its know-how to everybody and every area of
the world where the norms of personal freedom and democracy are upheld and assists our members in actively contributing to
public debate on topics relative to our mission.
Your donation enables ICA to achieve the purposes of:
- Providing an international forum to enable the development, conduct, and critical evaluation of communication research;
- Sustaining a program of high quality scholarly publication and knowledge exchange;
- Facilitating inclusiveness and debate among scholars from diverse national and cultural backgrounds and from multi-disciplinary perspectives on communication-related issues;
- Promoting a wider public interest in, and visibility of, the theories, methods, findings and applications generated by research in communication and allied fields
.
We all have personal reasons for donating to organizations with which we affiliate, but most of us simply give because we want to
share our good fortune with others. By doing so, we strive to make the world a better place. While our generosity can certainly
improve the communities in which we live and work, it can potential help us financially. What follows is an introduction to
different charitable giving strategies. A well-structured charitable plan can last more than a lifetime and in ways we cannot
currently envision.
We deeply appreciate your support and are always happy to hear from you. From this page, we have made it easy for you to learn more
about ICA, how to strengthen the future of ICA and international communication scholarship, and to become an active member of this
organization and its worldwide network of scholars. Thank you for visiting us and for believing in quality scholarship.
The ICA Executive Director is always available to discuss giving options. Gifts can also be listed as "anonymous" if you wish to maintain privacy.

Making a Bequest
There is no better way to leave a legacy than to remember ICA in your estate plans.
Making a bequest to the Association is a wonderful way for you to give back to the profession, and because
ICA is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, United States donors' bequest will be exempt from taxes.
Making a bequest is as simple as asking your attorney to include language in your will expressing your
wish to do so. Once you have made a bequest and informed ICA in writing that you have done so, you will be in ICA's list of donors'
The following are possible ways in which you may choose to make a bequest to the Association:
Percentage
This method provides the most flexibility since the gift fluctuates according to the size of the estate.
Fixed Amount
The most common way to make a bequest is to leave a fixed amount; however, this option may not necessarily be the best option for you.
Residuary
This is what is left after all other debts, taxes, expenses and other bequests have been fulfilled.
For your convenience, we have included sample bequest language on
our website. However, ICA strongly urges consultation with your attorney when developing or making changes to your will or other estate plans.
