IPACE versus FCPE: Where do your political action donations go? |
That question has been asked. As a clarification, your total dues already include a $20 IPACE (Illinois Political Action Committee for Education) donation that is used to fund political action issues in Illinois. For example, the ATA received several thousand dollars from IPACE a few years ago when we worked on passing our referendum. All IEA members are entitled to have the $20 IPACE contribution refunded to them by simply completing a written form available from the IEA. Please note, the form must be submitted to the IEA by December 1st. You can contact the IEA at 800-252-8076 if you would like further info. Please note, there are no national FCPE (Fund for Children and Public Education) political action donations included in the NEA association dues we pay. The FCPE donation has always been on a voluntary basis, including this year. Please contact us if you would like to make an FCPE donation. | ||
