Over 65 corporations with a reputation for cutting-edge social responsibility programs have launched a nonprofit organization dedicated to making corporate philanthropy more effective and efficient.

The Association of Corporate Contributions Professionals (ACCP) -- which began operations on July 1 -- is an outgrowth of the Contributions Academy that has provided continuing education programs since 1999.

'The Academy field tested programs that proved to be highly successful,' says ACCP Board Chairman Conrad Person who is director of international and product giving for Johnson & Johnson. 'While we will continue and expand these programs, the Association is not limiting itself just to management education.'
