The International Police Association has an effective impact on 
fundraising efforts and has various processes for helping worthy causes.
At an international level, the Permanent Executive Bureau will consider appeals for financial assistance to police officers affected by natural disasters. A maximum of 30,000 CHF per year is allocated to an Emergency Aid Fund and once an appeal is launched across the international IPA community, that sum can swell considerably. Examples of where Emergency Aid has been paid out and collected are 911, the Boxing Day Tsunami; Eastern European Floods and most recently the Italian Earthquake in 2009.
Section UK of the International
Police Association has a history of supporting its members to fundraise
at individual, branch, region or national level.
