Give to the Planning Foundation of APA and support communities, students, and new planning initiatives. Planning Foundation of APAThe Planning Foundation of APA funds philanthropic activities that the American Planning Association has supported for years — scholarships and community equity programs — and new initiatives like special research projects and creative ways to "tell the planning story" to an expanded audience. It is an independent 501(c)(3) subsidiary of APA with its own seven-member governing board. Price Scholarship FundThe Judith McManus Price Scholarship for Women and Minorities in Planning was established in 2002 through the generosity of her husband and children. Judith Price was an exceptional planner in Texas and New Mexico. The scholarship fund was created to encourage women and minorities to enter the field of planning, and to help planning students who have demonstrated financial need. Learn more about Judith McManus Price and the scholarship fund StudentsThe Foundation supports students in a variety of ways. Some examples: scholarships assist student financing, make it possible for students to join APA study tours, and enable students to work at paid internships in places like post-Katrina New Orleans. EducationThe Planning Foundation generously supported a reference book co-published by APA Planners Press and John Wiley & Sons, Planning and Urban Design Standards, which is the definitive guide to principles and techniques used by planners, designers, and their partners in community building. The Bettman Symposium on land-use law at APA's annual National Planning Conference is also supported by the Foundation. Post-Hurricane Planning EffortsConsider a gift that will be used exclusively to support the continuing planning efforts supported by APA and our chapters in Louisiana and Mississippi. The pro bono efforts of members continue to require financial support. Why Your Donations MatterPlanners reacting with optimism to the uncertainty of the future can help our nation become stronger and safer. With your support, the Planning Foundation will help planners do more to rebuild and improve communities, reach out to nonplanners, and ensure opportunities for the planning leaders of tomorrow. By donating, you will set an example for fellow planners and do much to assure our profession's continued national influence. | ||
