2018 Charitable Giving – ICSEW Public Outreach

ICSEW strives to promote and stay involved with organizations in local communities that share ICSEW’s values. The main way we do this is through collection drives for charities at our membership meetings. ICSEW has selected Interfaith Works as its featured charity for 2018.
