After years of prudent financial stewardship and investments, the Foundation can make up to $300,000 available for innovative programs and projects which will helps us to impactfully advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in ACPE and to support future spiritual care providers, educators, and psychotherapists from underrepresented communities. Below, I would like to highlight two recent initiatives funded because of your contributions to the Foundation for ACPE. |
