The Identity Theft Awareness Campaign was made possible through a grant from the National Credit Union Foundation and the Office of the New York State Attorney General in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission from fines imposed as a result of fraudulent activity. The New York State Assembly has acknowledged the campaign in a resolution naming November 2008 as Identity Theft Awareness Month.
