Charity Day
Since
the beginning, ICAP
has always given
money to charity
on an ad hoc basis.
In 1993, when the
firm had grown to
around 100 people
in London, it was
decided to do something
on a larger and
more innovative
scale which would
make a significant
difference to charities.
The idea of the
ICAP Charity Day
was born, a day
on which all revenues
and commissions
would be given away
to just a few charities,
which meant each
would receive a
large amount of
money which would
really make a difference
to their operations.
This gave the firm
and its customers
a unique way of
contributing to
society, especially
in view of our privileged
position in the
financial world.
This method of giving
is very different
from the normal
way that companies
choose to give to
charity by donating
money out of their
profits. At ICAP,
the brokers themselves
are giving away
their own commissions
to charity, as well
as the company giving
away its revenues.
The idea has proved
very successful
for 14
years. In our offices
around the world,
we have raised over
£33 million (over USD 64 million) for charity. It
is inspiring to
realise what a difference
the ICAP Charity
Day makes to so
many people around
the world. Both
the charities and
ICAP are very grateful
to our customers
and staff whose
enthusiastic and
generous support
makes this possible.
On Charity Day,
EVERY
DEAL COUNTS.
