ACTEC Foundation College Football Bowl Kicks Off

College football rivalries are heating up this fall, and ACTEC Fellows have a new reason to cheer for their favorite schools. The ACTEC Foundation has launched the 2026 ACTEC Foundation College Football Bowl, a friendly fundraising competition that combines college pride with support for the Foundation’s charitable mission.

The College Football Bowl invites Fellows and supporters to make a donation on behalf of the NCAA Division I-A conference representing their favorite college or university. Gifts are tallied by conference, with standings updated throughout the campaign and one conference ultimately earning bragging rights as the ACTEC Foundation College Football Bowl Champion.

Competing for a Cause

While conference rivalry makes the campaign fun, every donation supports the ACTEC Foundation and its work to strengthen the trust and estate profession.  Foundation initiatives include the Mary Moers Wenig Student Writing Competition, Dennis I. Belcher Young Leaders Program, ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk podcasts, ACTEC Estate Planning Essentials videos, and other educational and charitable programs.

Put Your Conference on the Leaderboard

Participating is simple: choose the conference representing your favorite school, make a donation, and help move your conference up in the standings. Donors also have another reason to participate before the 2026 Fall Meeting in Denver: each donor will receive a 2026 Fall Foundation Donor blue ribbon to proudly display on their meeting badge.

The competition concludes Monday, October 26, at noon Eastern, and the winning conference will be announced in the ACTEC Weekly Update on Friday, October 30.

One cause. Eleven conferences. One champion.

Choose your conference, make your gift, and help push your team over the goal line.
