The MACPA Foundation
The MACPA Foundation works to create a strong and diverse talent pipeline to secure the future of our profession.
People are the cornerstone of the CPA profession. We're here for them.
The MACPA Foundation, incorporated in June 1992, works to build a strong and diverse talent pipeline with resources for future CPAs and educators. We support diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, provide training, grant scholarships, and facilitate mentorship connections in order to increase growth and engagement. Your support helps the profession succeed.
We believe CPAs are invaluable and anyone who wants to enter the profession should be able to do so – regardless of socioeconomic background. Everything we do is in pursuit of a stronger, more diverse CPA profession.
Building Future Leaders
Through programs like Student Leadership Academy and the MACPA Champion Program, we give students and young professionals leadership skills, training, and experience. Our work also supports educators who teach the next generation of CPAs throughout Maryland.
Granting Scholarships
Our scholarship program gives financial assistance to accounting students at Maryland colleges and universities. Each year, we invest thousands of dollars in aid so that promising students can achieve their educational goals.

“I think about this question frequently. What if more students were exposed to accounting? What if more students had an ecosystem that motivated, encouraged and supported them on their journey to becoming a CPA? What if more students saw professionals that looked like them? What if is a question of endless possibilities, but it also needs execution to move beyond good intentions.”
– Chair, Kimberly N. Ellison-Taylor, CPA, CGMA, CISA
