MFP 50th Anniversary Awards Gala

The Council on Social Work Education’s Minority Fellowship Program (CSWE’s MFP) turned 50 this year! We are asking for your support in commemorating the 50th anniversary of CSWE’s MFP at the 2024 Annual Program Meeting (APM) with our MFP 50th Anniversary Awards Gala. Your donation will ensure a memorable evening of celebration, recognition, and inspiration as we honor the legacy of MFP and those who have made significant contributions to the social work profession.

 

Individual donations are exclusively to support the MFP 50th Anniversary Awards Gala on October 26th in Kansas City at APM and are separate and distinct from the federally funded MFP Program.

 

For the past five decades, CSWE’s MFP has been steadfast in shaping the future of social work professionals, nurturing their skills and knowledge. This milestone celebration marks the rich history and legacy of the MFP, which has significantly contributed to addressing pressing concerns in mental health and substance use. MFP fellows continue to make significant contributions in these vital areas of social work, supported by the program's commitment to providing fellowships to Master of Social Work (MSW), Doctor of Social Work (DSW), and PhD students in social work. Throughout 50 years, MFP has supported more than 800 social work students. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the program offers essential resources to current social work students, helping them find their voices as social workers and tackle the challenges of both academia and professional practice. 

 

Your contribution will help us recognize the trailblazers in research and clinical practice, showcasing their impact and fostering a sense of community among MFP alumni and current fellows. We will highlight this momentous event with a historical tribute that traces the remarkable journey of the MFP, showcasing its profound impact on the social work profession and spotlighting the invaluable contributions of MFP fellows, both past and present. Together, let's make this milestone celebration a resounding success and continue to advance diversity, equity, and excellence in social work education and practice. Donate now to be a part of this historic event!
