An Investment in Your Future

As we shared with you in the July/August 2025 issue of BoxScore, the Foundation for Packaging Education is putting your donation dollars to work for the benefit of AICC members and the paper-based packaging industry.

A recurring theme in past issues has been the need for AICC members to step up and support the foundation. Let’s put some data behind this plea. There are 191 general member companies in the United States. Of those, 27 are donors, or 14%. There are 205 Associate member companies in the U.S. Of those, 17 are donors, or 8%.

Ours is an industry and an Associa-tion that thrives on—and benefits from—participation.

We can and must certainly do better than the foundation participation rates above. No donation is too large or too small. You can make a one-time donation or a multiyear pledge. Pledges can be made for the length of time that works for you and your enterprise. Each donation to the foundation is tax-deductible.

The Foundation for Packaging Education is an investment in your future. Be a part of it, and donate today at www.packaginged.org/donate.
