History:

IACP Foundation's Fund-the-Future program began a few years ago with one student attending Compounders on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The next year there were three students. In 2013, six students, and eight in 2014. Today, the program has been expanded to both Compounders on Capitol Hill and to the Educational Conference events!
