Please help IASWG, so crucial to the life blood of social group work, to promote ethical and effective social work. Exciting opportunities to implement our mission abound, but they are set into motion only with your support! Founded on democratic ideals, IASWG teaches people all over the world who work with groups, both in social work and outside of the field, a leadership value base and skill set that help people to comfort and support one another, to problem solve in a deep and lasting way, to appreciate their individual strengths and potential, and to deal with differences in a life-enriching way. In short, to groups of all kinds and sizes, the many activities of IASWG teach the kind of leadership that helps people from all walks of life value one another better.

Make it $10… or $100… or $1,000. Whatever you can afford, every single dollar helps IASWG to foster ethical and effective work with people. Please recognize this dedication by making as generous a contribution as you can. To make a tax-deductible* donation please click here.

This fund ensures IASWG’s future.
