The 2022 ACPE Foundation Grants Cycle is now open!
The ACPE Foundation is excited to announce our expanded grants program to support initiatives that advance justice, diversity, equity and inclusion within ACPE. Through prudent management over the years, the ACPE Foundation endowment has grown so that we now have significantly more funds available to support strategic priority areas for ACPE.
Until now, available awards were between $10,000 and $20,000. Starting this year, we will grant up to $300,000 to support projects that align with ACPE’s commitment to being an anti-racist organization and that advance ACPE’s leadership as the gold standard in spiritual care & education.
The ACPE Foundation will announce the next grants cycle in Winter 2022 to support projects that advance ACPE’s justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the following areas. Please look out for this announcement!
