Annual Appeal

Investing in Possibility.
Inspiring Impact.

At the Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW) and the Joseph Palombo Center (JPC), we believe that healing happens in connection. Gifts to our joint Annual Appeal reduce financial barriers for students, sustain rigorous clinical education, support continuing professional development, and expand innovative programs.

Each gift is an investment that reaches beyond the classroom and consulting room, into the homes, families, neighborhoods, and communities where compassionate, knowledgeable care can make a lasting difference. Please join us in supporting the 2026-2027 Joint Annual Appeal. Whether you champion ICSW’s educational mission, the Joseph Palombo Center’s professional programs, or our shared commitment to clinical excellence, your gift brings advanced clinical education to the individuals, families, and communities who need it most.

2026-2027 Goal

This year, our Annual Appeal seeks to raise $60,000 — a vital investment in:

Scholarships

Opening doors for the next generation of clinicians.

Faculty Support

Sustaining and growing our exceptional educators.

Curriculum Development

Keeping pace with cutting-edge research in psychodynamic education, neuroscience, clinical social work, and counseling.

Community Programs

Bringing new knowledge through fellowships and specialized programs.

Your generosity supports scholarships and reduces financial barriers for students, sustains rigorous clinical education, expands professional development, and strengthens our capacity to prepare clinicians who make a lasting difference. Every gift—regardless of size—is an investment in possibility: a student completing their education, a clinician deepening their practice, a family accessing meaningful support, and a community benefiting from a stronger mental health workforce.
