At this special time of the year, please check out a brief year-end message from Alliant Educational Foundation CEO, Valin Brown:
AEF Launches New YouTube Channel
Comprised of new and ongoing video content, the Foundation launched its new YouTube channel this Fall as an opportunity to share more visual content about its impact.
The new channel can be accessed here, and newly featured content includes:
- AEF’s new introductory video (4 ½ mins)—providing a great overview of our work and impact
- A recent online “salon” session we held on Planned Giving featuring David Tam of Edward Jones and Stephanie Downer of Buchalter
ABC News 10 Segment on AEF’s Regional Children’s Mental Health Consortium
The Alliant Educational Foundation launched it’s highly collaborative “mental health consortium” in 2020, helping to place CSPP graduate students in clinical psychology at a variety of youth-serving non-profit organizations. At sites in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area, CSPP students bolster the capacity of existing organizations to better address the mental health needs of under-resourced children, youth, and their families.

We invite you to learn more about this important program. For a quick primer on the consortium, please check out our animated overview here and our new 2024 infographic here.
Giving Tuesday’s Success
Thanks to donors ranging from AEF’s all-volunteer Board of Directors, to Alliant International University’s faculty, staff, and Board members, to CSPP alums, and other interested donors, AEF raised nearly $45,000 during this past “Giving Tuesday’s” fundraising campaign in support of its Regional Children’s Mental Health Consortium.
Initially bolstered by matching gifts provided by long-time AEF Board Members Janet Hurwich and Jennifer Wilson, the community rallied in support of this year’s campaign raising more dollars than any previous fundraising drive.
Thank you for everyone’s generosity who chose to give this season…we couldn’t do it without you!
Happy Holidays!
