The Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry has grown steadily over the past 60+ years, in both membership and mission. In 2009, the Academy’s Board of Directors recognized that support beyond dues and annual meeting registrations would be required for the Academy to meet the goals of its mission in the future. The founding of the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Foundation of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (fACLP) created a vehicle for members and other supporters of ACLP’s mission to make tax-deductible contributions.

Through contributions and donations, the Foundation supports:

• Development of leaders in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry
  The Foundation provides financial assistance to support the Academy’sWebb Fellowship program, which offers younger members mentorship and opportunities for leadership.
• Fostering of ongoing career development and recognizing significant contributions to the field
  Recognition of significant achievements and contributions to the field are supported, in part, by Foundation donors.
• Support of the growth and development of researchers in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry
  Please give to the Research Support Fund, created to honor the memory of Wayne Katon, MD, FACLP, whose career was dedicated to clinical research.

In 2019, ACLP has set a goal of $20,000 in donations to support the Foundation. For more information about the Foundation and how contributions are used to support the ACLP, please see About. To find out how you can help, please see Support.
