Welcome from the APF President

APF is a vital and growing Foundation. In 2006 because of our growing endowment, we provided more funding than ever before! In response to this growth, the Board of Trustees has dedicated itself to ensuring our work makes a difference in people’s lives: We want to make psychology work for humanity.

APF is working to:

  • Reduce some of the negatives in our lives--violence, prejudice, social injustice--and alleviate the psychological and physical impact of some forms of disease like diabetes; and
  • Enhance the positive aspects of humanity as we promote multiculturalism, mental health, longevity and greater acceptance of marginalized people.
Our grants to promote innovative research and programs and our scholarships to encourage talented students are all in the service of enriching people's lives now and in future generations. We hope that you will continue to join us in our enduring quest to improve the human condition.

Dorothy W. Cantor, Psy.D.
APF President
