Ways to Contribute
The CEO Forum is a 501(c)(3) educational organization funded by its active member’s annual contributions of at least $17,000* which supports ministry programs and operations. As noted within the membership application, a tax-deductible contribution of $17,000 is made at the time of acceptance into CEO Forum and continues annually for as long as the relationship between CEO Forum and the member exists.
Separate and distinct from member’s expected operational giving, CEO Forum’s Transformation 2025 Campaign supports the strategic vision of expanding CEO Forum’s reach and scope of influence in the marketplace.

Questions?
The $17,000 annual contribution is a minimum expectation. Many of our members support our mission by contributing additional resources to sustain the immediate and long-term work of CEO Forum.
*Our team’s commitment to steward member contributions towards the mission of CEO Forum has stayed the same, but inflation has impacted what it takes to fund our ministry. Effective January 15, 2024, CEO Forum’s expected annual contribution from members increased from $15,000 to $17,000. This is only the second adjustment to our expected contribution in our 30-year history.
