Colleague Support Fund

The Colleague Support Fund provides a way for AUCCCD member centers and their staff to support one another during natural disasters, significant crises, or other events that place extraordinary demands on counseling center teams.

AUCCCD members regularly support one another through the listserv, consultation, emergency visiting counselors, and other forms of practical assistance. The Colleague Support Fund offers an additional way to recognize and respond to the emotional toll these events can take on counseling center directors and staff.

Supporting colleagues when they need it most.
Donations to the fund help AUCCCD provide direct expressions of care and support to member centers experiencing difficult circumstances.

How the Fund Is Used

Funds are used to purchase electronic VISA gift cards that are sent to member centers along with a message of support from AUCCCD.

Recipient centers may use the gift cards in whatever way they feel will best support their staff. For example, a center might choose to:

  • Provide meals or treats for staff
  • Host a movie and popcorn event
  • Purchase flowers or plants to brighten the workplace
  • Use the funds in another way that best supports their team

No restrictions are placed on how recipient centers use the gift cards, allowing directors to determine what will be most helpful in their specific circumstances.

How the Fund Is Supported

The Colleague Support Fund is voluntary and supported by donations from AUCCCD member centers.

The fund is administered by cmcglobal with support from the AUCCCD Governing Board and volunteer directors who work with the Board to release funds when appropriate.
