ACAF 2026 Microgrant Application (Currently open)

ACA Foundation Microgrant Program invests in the creative ideas of ACA members at every stage of their career — from graduate students to seasoned leaders. Because good ideas don't wait for a certain title or tenure, the Foundation supports counselors whose projects align with the ACAF's mission to strengthen the counseling profession and the communities it serves. From trauma-informed care and neurodivergent-affirming spaces to school counseling innovation and multicultural mental health, our microgrant recipients reflect a simple belief: when we create a culture where every member's ideas can thrive, our profession grows stronger, our communities grow healthier, and the people we serve are better cared for.
