We are incredibly honored to announce that Center for Families and Relationships has been awarded a significant grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts! CFAR will be receiving $1.8 million over five years in flexible support to undergo a business planning process, with the goal of expanding our therapy services significantly. This expansion includes doubling our client base and opening two new physical sites. In order to reach these ambitious goals, CFAR will need to grow our workforce, grow our internship program, and significantly strengthen our administrative and technological infrastructure. This is the largest grant in CFAR history and marks an exciting turning point for our organization. “We look forward to having the capacity to serve so many more Philadelphians in need of crucial mental health services over the next few years” says CFAR CEO Jordan Brogan “and we are so grateful to Pew for awarding this funding at such a key moment in our growth.” This funding is part of $6.55M that Pew recently awarded to address Philadelphia’s youth mental health crisis, and you can read more about Pew and the other grantees in the Pew Press Release.
