Counselors Care Fund - Helping Our Own

Assisting ACA Members and ACA Branch Organizations that are Struggling and Serving in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

Across the nation, counselors are reaching out to help colleagues by making a gift to the Counselors Care Fund. And, the American Counseling Association Foundation is doubling the Fund by matching each gift, up to a total of $50,000!

If you are a counselor unaffected personally by the hurricane yet eager to reach out with empathy, please support your colleagues with a gift to the Counselors Care Fund on the Foundation's secure donation page.

Or you may mail your gift to the Counselors Care Fund at the address shown below. Your contribution today will help a colleague in need now.

The Counselors Care Fund provides help in two ways:

• With grants up to $500 to help ACA members get back on their professional feet or serve the survivors of Hurricane Katrina
• With grants up to $1,000 to help ACA branch organizations meet the enormous challenges of the storm's devastation and impact on people.

If you are a counselor struggling to recover from the storm or if you represent an ACA branch organization, please complete the one-page application for funds today!

Your application will be reviewed promptly by a team of ACA professionals, with priority given to applicants residing in the affected areas.
