NASW Foundation Highlights

   
 

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL WORK…

 

The Learning Springboard Endowment, designed to train professional social workers for work in the San Francisco school system, establishes a graduate student internship program with an MSW coordinator. The Learning Springboard Endowment — established by NASW Member Diana Ming Chan, a retired California school social worker, her husband, Clarence Chan, and their son, Harrison Leong — provides one-half of the coordinator’s salary, with the other half matched by the school district.

In Fall 2002, the Chan family made an additional gift of $300,000 toward their commitment of $1 million to establish the NASW Foundation’s Learning Springboard Endowment.

 

PROMOTING POSITIVE PERCEPTIONS OF SOCIAL WORK…

 

Each year, the NASW Foundation presents the International Rhoda G. Sarnat Award to an individual, group, or organization that has significantly advanced the public image of social work. This monetary prize is made possible through an endowment fund established by a generous contribution in 1993, from Rhoda Sarnat, LCSW and her spouse Bernard Sarnat, MD.
