Development Toolkit

Ready-to-adopt model documents to help your federation meet WPF membership and IOC-recognition governance standards. The editable Word templates and their completion guides are issued through the application flow — when you start your membership application you’ll receive private download links (also emailed to you) for the full set, each watermarked to your federation. Those links activate once the WPF Membership Committee has approved your application.
