Overview

Mission

IACPs mission is to unite and empower a global network of professionals who are dedicated to transforming conflict resolution using the principles of Collaborative Practice.

What it reported doing in 2024

IACP served more than 2,400 members worldwide through access to educational materials, peer groups, networking, speaker programs, seminars, and virtual learning opportunities. The organization conducted global outreach to support the growth of Collaborative Practice and fostered open dialogue across the international community. IACP maintained its comprehensive website and produced resources to educate practitioners, clients, and the public. The Speakers Bureau provided Collaborative practice groups with affordable access to thought leaders of the Collaborative community. IACP supported Uniform Collaborative Law Act education efforts in the U.S. The organization hosted discussions for Collaborative Practice trainers to promote best practices and techniques for developing the next generation of Collaborative Professionals. The organization also reviewed and updated its Ethics and Standards to support high-quality, consistent practice worldwide. Of note, most of IACPs program expenses are provided as part of its membership services. It collects some program revenue from webinars that are open to non-members, and through multi-session seminars which have a registration fee.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
