LA-CAMFT Therapists of Color Grant Award: Grant Award Registration Opens May 1

On February 25, 2024, the most recent awardees of the LA-CAMFT TOC GRANT AWARD were randomly selected.  They are Michelle Williams and Mia Lamar.  Each will receive a check for $530, and free admission to 3 LA-CAMFT workshops or networking events.  The next cycle for the grant will begin on May 1, 2024.  It is limited to members of LA-CAMFT, and the award is limited to once per calendar year.

Description of Grant Stipend

Every 4 months (3x per year), a grant award will be offered to two applicants who meet the following criteria: (1) must be a current LA-CAMFT member, (2) identify as a Therapist of Color, and (3) must be either an Associate, Trainee, or Student still in graduate school.

Grant winners will receive

  • $530 to be spent at the winner’s discretion
  • Free admission to 3 LA-CAMFT workshops or networking events of the winner’s choosing with the exception of the Law & Ethics Workshop.

The $530 award can be used at the recipient’s discretion based on their own individual needs (whether it be for BBS fees, testing materials, memberships, rent, groceries, etc.). Confirmation for the purpose that the money is used will not be required.

Application and Selection Process

Interested members can complete the application on the LA-CAMFT website. The selection process entails using a Randomized Generator of the applicants who met the full criteria and complete the application online to take out human bias and decrease activation of one's trauma history. The drawing will be recorded via Zoom and posted onto social media along with an announcement naming the grant winners, whom will also be contacted via email directly. Registration for the next award cycle will open on May 1, 2024 and will close on June 29, 2024. The drawing will take place on June 30, 2024.

Best regards,

The LA-CAMFT TOC Grant Committee
