Share The Chair Foundation
Share the Chair is dedicated to reducing financial barriers for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and immigrants pursuing and maintaining careers as licensed mental health providers in Oregon, by redistributing funding support during education and early career establishment. Our goal is to increase accessibility to culturally representative mental health services in historically underserved communities across the state.
Our goal is to provide academic scholarships to Oregon-based students in accredited graduate programs within the counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, social work and/or other equivalent behavioral-mental health related fields.
Donate
Even a small gift can make a big impact. Your donation funds scholarships that cover qualified educational expenses including tuition, fees, and other essential course materials (textbooks, equipment, etc.) for BIPOC and immigrant students pursuing careers in therapy and counseling.
By reducing these barriers, we can continue to support a more equitable and representative mental health field, where providers reflect and understand the communities they serve.
Our first fundraising goal is to accept $25,000 in donations to disburse our first round of scholarships. Every dollar brings us closer to that goal.
Please consider donating TODAY!
